Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor

2010-04-28T02:10:00.000-07:00

Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor

Housed in attractive stainless steel, this 900-watt juice extractor features a unique five-speed smart juicing system. Its powerful motor comes with a built-in electronic smart chip that increases power to the cutting disc under heavy loads. As a result,

the filter extracts more juice and can make an 8-ounce glass of juice in just five seconds. Speeds range from 6500 rpm for softer fruits and leafy greens like cantaloupe or spinach, to 12500 rpm for maximum extraction from denser foods such as apples or beets. The unit's 3-inch circular feed tube makes it easy to process whole fruits and vegetables, without pre-cutting, slicing, or peeling, plus the feed tube sits uniquely positioned directly over the center of the cutting disc for better balance and consistent results. The juice extractor also provides a stainless-steel micromesh filter and cutters, engineering-grade polymers, a backlit control panel, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. Accessories include a 1-liter juice jug and froth separator, a detachable spout for juicing directly in to a glass, and a cleaning brush. The juice extractor measures 16-4/5 by 15-1/2 by 10-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor Reviews

The juicer is excellent! It definitely deserves a spot in my "Best investments" list. So far I have tried Oranges, carrots, celery, apples, and spinach. Makes great juice and there hardly anything left in the pulp. Spinach, however, does not get fully utilized (even after following their instruction to pack it between other fruit/veggies). I have had so much difficulty consuming fruits and veggies because of time, cutting and other things. With this juicer, I am done making, drinking and cleaning parts all under 10 minutes and I love it so much that I have not had a cup of coffee since I bought this juicer 4 days ago. Why to drink when much healthier alternative is available? Overall My family and I are very happy with this unit.

Frigidaire FAA065P7A 6,000 BTU MSII Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Reviews

We bought this to cool down our large master bedroom. The room is about 30 feet by 15 feet and the unit cools it down relatively quickly. I wouldn't describe it as quiet and I think it would not be tolerable if trying to watch tv with it on. The noise, however, has been unexpectedly soothing, like white noise, for my husband and myself to sleep. It was simple to install and seems pretty sturdy.

We purchased this unit before a massive heatwave in NYC, and it saved us. we use it to cool a rather large bedroom (22 x 18), mostly at night, which it does well. If we use it during the day, we use the energy saver feature; at night, this is a little noisy, so we leave it on "cool". It will *not* cool your entire house, but if you have a contained space it works well. Have not yet seen an electricity bill, although it claims to be inexpensive to run. Highly recommended!

Cheap Hoover U5491900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner

2010-04-11T00:58:00.000-07:00

Hoover U5491900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Equipped with a 12 amp motor and patented WindTunnel technology, this bagged upright vacuum delivers powerful, deep-down cleaning performance. It uses three distinct air channels to lift and trap dirt, keeping it from scattering back into the carpet, so dirt ends up in the cleaner not on the floor. With red and green lights, its embedded DirtFinder system indicates areas that may need more cleaning attention. The green "clean" light remains on while vacuuming except when the detector senses a larger amount of dirt; then the red "dirty" light will illuminate to suggest additional vacuuming in the area until the light changes back to green. The unit also traps 99.97-percent of dust and pollens down to 0.3 microns in size thanks to its HEPA media bag. Other thoughtful details include non-marring wheels with bearings for lower push effort on carpet and safe use on bare floors, an ergonomic D-grip handle for added comfort and control, and a bag-check indicator so there's no need to guess when the bag needs changing. The cleaner also comes with fingertip on/off power control, five-position height adjustment, edge-cleaning bristles, and a headlight, as well as a deluxe stretch hose, a complete on-board tool set for above-floor cleaning, and a 31-foot power cord. The vacuum cleaner measures 13 by 15 by 43 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Hoover U5491900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner Reviews

We bought this vacuum based on the good reviews but I just had to write another one after using it. When I started using the vacuum I thought the "embeded dirtfinder technology" was the biggest gimmick there was. After using the vacuum for a few minutes I realized that it actually works. There two lights (one red and one green) on the lower left corner of the vacuum and they switch from red to green when the carpet is actually clean. I thought to myself "yeah right" but when using it, the light stayed red for a long time in high traffic areas of my house but in the spare bedroom where no one ever walks it was green almost right away. I really worked harder on those high traffic areas to get that solid green light and I really feel like my carpet is clean now. Give it a try - it makes vacuuming much more entertaining.

I was still using my Decade 80 Upright Hoover (28 years now) and decided to buy a new Hoover. I am very pleased that I like this new one as much as I did my old one. I shopped around everywhere and could not beat the price on Amazon and then the free shipping. The only complaint I would have is the short attachment hose. My old Hoover still works but has been retired to the basement. Very happy with my Hoover!

2010-04-10T06:50:00.000-07:00

Removing more dirt in a single pass than other lightweight bagged uprights, this powerful vacuum cleaner combines direct air-flow technology with patented Windtunnel Technology for fast, efficient results. Weighing less than 12 pounds, the cleaner moves effortlessly from room to room and up and down stairs. It also provides illuminated fingertip controls for easily turning the power on and off or switching between high and low speeds. The upright vacuum cleaner uses a dust bag with a HEPA filter, which traps 99.97 percent of dirt, dust, and pollens down to 0.3 microns for better indoor air quality. The quick-release, self-sealing bag prevents dirt puffs from escaping, and the cleaner's check-bag indicator illuminates when the bag needs to be changed.

Other highlights include a 12 amp motor, a 14-inch-wide nozzle, automatic height adjustment, and edge-cleaning brushes, as well as a lifetime LED headlight, a comfortable D-shaped handle, and a 35-foot power cord. Even more, the unit comes with a canister vacuum for above-the-floor cleaning and for bare-floor surfaces. Simply attach the included bare-floor brush, dusting/furniture brush, or crevice tool to the end of the telescoping extension wand for thorough, detailed cleaning throughout the house. A detachable shoulder strap for conveniently transporting the canister vacuum comes included, along with a Type Q upright HEPA bag, a Type I portable canister HEPA bag, and a user manual for both the upright and the canister. The upright vacuum cleaner measures approximately 15-1/2 by 13 by 45 inches and carries a six-year limited warranty.

Cheap Cuisinart Elite Collection Food Processor

With 1000 watts of peak power driving a variety of accessories that make every meal easier to prepare. No other processor does it better!

Cuisinart Elite Collection Food Processor Reviews

I just purchased this food processor to use for a weight loss program I am currently enrolled in. One of the things I make with this is a lo-cal mouse which involves chopping alot of ice for the base formuls. I just returned the 11 cup plus machine because it couldn't handle this rigorous routine. The plastic container on that one cracked and the machine would dance across the counter while chooping the ice, this processor is as steady as a rock. I plan on using this machine for many other things but this is currently my primary function. Great machine and it is easy to take apart and keep clean.

Cuisinart finally got it right! I have owned a cuisinart since 1978. My first one lasted almost 20 years, my second lasted a dozen years. I was skeptical because nothing is made stronger, heavier, better than the appliances I used when I first got married. But I needed one and I was reluctant to switch to another brand such as Kitchenaid, even though that one also got good reviews. I LOVE MY NEW CUISINART. I love the three bowls, I love the specialized dough speed, I even love the new cover which conveniently comes apart better than the old one. I am probably in the kitchen more than anyone I know, I make everything from scratch, breads, pastas. I have a library of about 800 cookbooks, it is my passion. This model cuisinart will not disappoint!

Cheap Hoover Platinum Collection Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum

2010-04-03T00:58:00.000-07:00

Hoover Platinum Collection Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum

The Hoover Platinum Collection LINX Stick Vac gives you cordless convenience with powerful upright performance. It is the first cordless stick vacuum with Hoover's patented Wintunnel technology, which utilizes three suction tunnels to lift and remove the hidden dirt. One touch activation of the brushroll makes for an easy transitionfrom hard floors to carpets and edge cleaning bristles allow for closer access to walls and corners. The interchangeable 18 Volt Lithium battery ensures the battery sustains power until completely drained. It even has a battery level indicator that instantly registers remaining battery life. It has the Energy Star rating and a Best-In-class six-warranty.

Hoover Platinum Collection Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Review

We purchased this vacuum through Amazon three weeks ago. The vacuum is used for our large kitchen (laminate floor), laundry and entry way from our garage (laminate floor), front entry way and three bathrooms all with ceramic tile floors. Based on one of the customer reviews we'd read, we were concerned with the battery life. This has not proven to be a problem at all with us. First, the battery charges to full capacity in just about two hours and not the three we expected. We use the vacuum almost every day and the first charge lasted for a good two weeks. We are now on the second charge. The brush option is seldom used as the vast majority of the vacuuming is on hardwood floors and not rugs. It is our belief that limited brush use has allowed the battery to last longer. We've emptied the cup twice and did not have a problem with getting dirty. If your cleaning needs are similar to what I've explained, I would highly recommend you buy this vacuum. We also like the convenience of being able to charge the battery away from the vacuum and not be limited to where the charging can occur. So, we prefer to place the charging unit on a counter top.

I have a Siberian husky and four cats this thing works wonders on my hardwood floors and area rugs, my husband cannot believe the amount of hair and dirt this thing gets up, oh by the way we live on a farm so there is lots of dirt to pick up so much better than a canister vac.

Cuisinart Food Processors Reviews

I just received my DFP-14 and love it. I used to have a hand-me-down no-name food processor that died last year. I had been wanting a new processor, but didn't want to spend the money for the new model Cuisinart. When I saw the price on this, I ordered it immediately. I've already used it 4 times this week, from hummus to pizza to a huge batch of homemade bread. Unbelievable. And dishwasher safe. This huge workbowl can handle anything. Several family members have different brands of food processors, but I've noticed that the ones with Cuisinarts still use them years later, and they work as well as they did on day one. I'd never use another brand. An incredible bargain on one of the best products on the market.

Just purchased my first food processor last month. LOVE IT, I've used it for bread, brownies, cookies, meatballs, chopping and slicing carrots, strawberries, potatos, cucumbers, bread for breadcrumbs, & onions. Even made my frosting in it. Been married 15 years this month and wish I would've gotten one 15 years ago. Easy to clean, safe, I even dirty less dishes which is a good thing since I don't have a dishwasher either. Buy one, you won't be sorry. Just be sure to leave it on your counter and use it, even for the simple things, cleanup is a snap.

Cheap Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer

Made in the USA.

Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer Reviews

Over time this machine will save you far more money in dry cleaning than it ever cost. Do not expect miracles though. If you think it will replace ironing shirts or pants you will be sorely disappointed. It will remove most wrinkles from "wrinkle - free" pants and shirts. Do not expect them to look freshly starched. For most of those items that need dry cleaning, it will remove the wrinkles from daily wear. I have a blue blazer that is fairly light weight that it does not work with -- the blazer looks like it was caught in a fine spray -- sort of "peeblely" looking. On the other hand most wool slacks and wool sport coats or suits it works miracles -- quickly removing wrinkles. Do, however, let the cloth dry and cool off after steaming (a few short minutes) before donning-- otherwise it will wrinkle again fast. Highly recommended -- if your expectations are reasonable.

The Jiffy garment steamer is a great appliance to own. You can easily steam shirts, pants or any garment in a fraction of the time necessary for ironing. This product does not damage fine garments such a silk or linen like an iron can. It easily removes wrinkles from all types of fabrics and is easy to take care of. Just change the water routinely and let the steam flow. I use my Jiffy Steamer every day and I wish I owned a travel model as well!!

Breville BKC700XL Gourmet Single-Serve Coffeemaker Reviews

I've been wanting a pod coffeemaker for some time now. I'm glad I waited to purchase this model. After having it only one day - I used it 6 times for both my daughter and I. The coffee strength is good for prepackaged k-cups and making my k-cups is easy. I ground my own coffee beans fine and weighed about 12 grams of the fine coffee into the mesh basket. I selected the 7.25 oz size and my coffee came out perfectly. I used the my k-cup for tea and hot chocolate too. For my tea, I opened 2 tea bags and finely ground the leaves and then placed them in the basket (basket about 1/2 full) and selected 7.25 oz and my tea came out awesome. I wanted more tea, and I used the same grounds but on the 5.25 setting, and it was another perfect cup! For hot chocolate (Godiva powder) I measured again about 12 grams of fine powder and selected 7.25 oz and again another perfect cup. I'm pleased with the quality of the taste of prepackaged k-cups and my experiences making my k-cups.

This product is very easy to use and it's quiet. The water heats up quickly and you have a cup of whatever you want in less than 20 seconds and clean up is easy. I like that I don't have the hassle of coffee filters, cleaning coffee pots and throwing away coffee I couldn't drink. I enjoy that my guests can choose what they want to drink and that there is always a fresh cup. The bonus is that this product looks great on my countertop. I own other Breville products and can say that their quality is definitely high end.

Merrick Flossies Dog Treats Reviews

Our Daisy dog loves these treats! I tried the cheaper ones but he knows the difference and won't chew anything but Merrick Flossies. Our vet says our dog has the cleanest teeth he has ever seen because of the Flossies. Love your dog? Treat him/her with Merrick Flossies ... you are sure to get a smile in return!!

I purchase Merrick Flossies regularly for my two Westies as well share them with my "dog park friends" of various sizes, breeds! I have not known one dog who refused such addicting treat! Larger breeds would normally woof this size of Flossie down in a few minutes while the smaller breeds much longer.

My boxer loves these flossies. In the past I would by them individually from the local store. They are expensive snacks but I could not find them locally in bulk until I looked on Amazon. Only problem is my dog eats them fast. I'm currently trying the Jumbo Phat flossies.

Cheap Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner

2010-03-29T00:59:00.000-07:00

Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner

DC17 Animal; The most powerful upright for pet hair. Outcleans all other vacuums, room after room. Level 3 Root Cyclone technology. Unique cleaner head and motorized brushbar for the bets pick-up across all floor types.

Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner Reviews

this is advertised everywhere for 549... it is available at sams club for 479.. at target it is currently 549 but you get a free 100 giftcard for future purchaces, so it is actually cheaper if you shop at target regularly to get it there.
it has a 5 year warranty and so don't buy an extended warranty unless you have money to burn or you want the ease of taking it back to sams and no questions asked they will hand you a new one.

We just took this Dyson Absolute DC17 Animal out of the box 2 hours ago, snapped it together without much trouble (but DO refer to the instructions). Oh-my-gawd! The first room we vacuumed had already been vacuumed with our old machine, and then steam cleaned. It looked clean. But the Dyson stunned us to the point of disbelief when we gave that "clean" carpet the once-over and the canister on the Dyson was full of dirt and pet hair from our black lab and short-haired cat! I'm not kidding here people, this model of the Dyson lives up to the rave reviews it gets. So it's almost $500 and maybe you are thinking "I'd never pay that much." Well, it's cheap by comparison with most of the disappointing competitors out there. We keep our carpets clean but when I saw all the filth that the Dyson pulled out of our "clean" carpets, I was blown away. I'm not prone to gushing about any product but this one really lived up to the advertising. Only one thing (there's got to be one thing, right?) and that is it comes with some useful attachments and one very UN-useful one called the "Mini Turbine Head." It is in sharp contrast to the rest of the Dyson vacuum in that it simply doesn't work worth a darn. For one thing, the instructions don't tell you how to hook it up to the hose. Once you call the 800 number and figure it out, it's still pretty worthless. But since it wasn't a separate purchase, I'll just leave it in the closet.

West Bend 33600 100-Cup Commercial Coffee Urn

Designed for offices, churches, break rooms and cafes. Serving light indicates end of brew time, instructions printed on faceplate and interior water level markings make coffee-making easy. Twist to secure cover and heat resistant base/trim for added safety. Convenient coffee level gauge and on/off switch.

West Bend 33600 100-Cup Commercial Coffee Urn Reviews

This West Bend 100-Cup urn is the most dependable of all my "fleet" of coffee urns. In my opinion the polished aluminum doesn't look as ritzy as stainless steel models, and requires a bit more scrubbing to keep it new looking. But one of my two new stainless steel models (in my case, Waring) stopped percolating after only 5 uses, and gave colored water rather than coffee during a presentation. My replacement, if Waring won't fix it under warranty, will be West Bend models. Long-term reliability/dependability is far more important than fancy looks of imported stainless steel.

Our Local Kiwanis Club purchased this Coffee Urn for the Wautoma/Waushara County Senior Center, located in the City of Wautoma, Wisconsin. As a self supporting facility, the Senior Center depends on service groups, such as the Kiwanis Club to help support their facility. As a member of the Kiwanis Club of Wautoma, Wisconsin, I was very happy to lend a hand in purchasing this product, knowing that I got the best price from Amazon.Com

Dual Dock Alarm Clock Reviews

so i was primarily looking for an alarm clock/charger for my ipod touch 3g. i came across this and discovered it did just that and more: its dual dock! so it charges my nano 4g as well. WIN. this is my first ihome and i am thoroughly impressed. the unit doesnt look or feel cheap at all. the sound is incredible; my dad heard it and thought it was one of the smaller bose speakers. the remote control is about as thick as the touch, as wide as the nano, and weighs about the same as the nano. which means i might lose the control soon if i dont pick up a habit of leaving it in the same place over and over again. the price may be a bit steep, but the dual dock makes up for it since most households have more than one ipod.

Excellent choice for a couple with 2 iphones--no more hunting around for the charging cables. It is elegant, easy to program. The remote is excellent--it lets you control an ipod (I haven't figured out how to get my iphone to respond the same way). The reception quality for the radio turner is excellent. I use this in the kitchen, rather than in the bedroom, so I don't use the alarm functions. The light for the clock can be dimmed, and it's nice to have another clock in the kitchen. My only complaint is that the volume control on the unit could be easier to adjust (it mimics the wheel of the ipod, but isn't always responsive, so i just use the remote).

Cheap Frigidaire FAD704TDD 70-Pint Dehumidifier, White

2010-03-25T00:02:00.000-07:00

Frigidaire FAD704TDD 70-Pint Dehumidifier, White

The Frigidaire FAD704TDD 70-pint Dehumidifier is an Energy Star Compliant 70-pint per day dehumidifier capable of continuous operation when the unit is located near a suitable drain. It features full-function electronic controls, an easily accessible collection container with level indicator, and a washable filter that removes both moisture and airborne particulates. The integrated casters allow you to move the unit easily to wherever it's needed.

Frigidaire FAD704TDD 70-Pint Dehumidifier Reviews

I've been using this dehumidifier for about 2 weeks now. I guess it is a brand new model for this year and that is why I am the first review. I figured that last years model had good reviews so this years model can't be too bad. Plus I've had great luck with our 16 year old Frigidaire refrigerator so they must know compressors well.

Unit was boxed very well and packaged acceptally from Amazon. You cut the plastic straps off and lift off the box exterior from the base. You can then pick up the unit from the handle on top. It is a plastic handle but doesn't feel fragile when you lift it. It is pretty heavy, but wasn't a problem for me to carry downstairs to my garage.

Setup was easy if I remember correctly. Just pull off some tape in a couple of places and plug in the cord. I had it run on continuous for several days but have now dropped it down to keeping it at 35 or 40 percent. It has digital pushbutton controls which I haven't really explored too much. There is a 2 digit numeric display which I think shows the set value and after a moment the current humidity that it is seeing. I'd have to check the manual on that for sure though. That is the way it acted.

I current have it in a garage that is not very warm. It has been into the upper 30's and 40's there the past couple of weeks. I needed this dehumidifier out there to keep a bunch of woodworking tools from rusting. I drive the car into the garage and all of the snow drips off of it and onto the concrete. I was worried about the humidity level in there even in the winter. The equipment I have out there is worth too much to have it rust!

It is really sucking the moisture out of the air though. After about 5 days of running, I had a full bucket. It holds a lot of water. The bucket is easy to remove from the unit. It has a handle to carry it with. There isn't really a good spout on the bucket to pour it out of though - at least I haven't found a corner that works well yet. I poured the water down the floor drain and it kind of splashes a bit.

There is a way to hook a threaded garden hose up to the unit so you can just dump the water into a floor drain or wherever.

That is probably my biggest gripe is that they should of included a small 2-4 foot hose for that already. I don't want to go buy some 25 foot garden hose and cut it off to what I need. I'm going to see if I can buy a threaded end and basically make my own out of some tubing or something. I don't want to have to dump the bucket every few days and since I have a floor drain right there, that is the way I would operate it. Of course if you are using this in your house without access to an easy drain, you'll have to remove the bucket and maybe dump it in a bathtub or something.

I would imagine that as soon as the humidity gets here this summer, this unit will really be working hard. Of course opening the garage doors a couple times of day will really let the humidity back in but it will just have to pull it back out.

One more thing - I could NOT find this specific unit listed on any Frigidaire websites which kind of worried me that it is some off-model unit or something. I think Amazon just probably has access to selling it and have it listed before Frigidaire actually has it listed up on their website.

WORX GT WG151.5 Reviews

Received this item today.....charged the battery in about 30-40 min and took it out for a test run....Edged the front lawn by the 156 ft of sidewalk (both sides)that's over 300ft! and the driveway edges in no time and did a GREAT job.....then went out back to tackle the 9 brick and stone lined gardens....again did over 1/2 of the back before battery needed a quick recharge....went in to put battery on the charger and and registered product for the warranty on-line..had a coffee and battery was ready to finish...Did a great job...quite, powerful, clean and so light weight! Looks like gas trimmer will sit on rack most of the time now....this will do my over 1/2 acre yard so easy....Love it!

This is a great little tool. The Lithium-ion battery is tops. Lasts about 45 minutes full throttle. Very light weight. Doesn't hurt my back. It is totally adjustable to your height and size. Balanced well in your hand. It also recharges completely in about 30 minutes. The trimmer is nice and cuts well. Takes a little while to learn how to best cut with, but really does the job on my small yard. The best thing about it is the edger. My old B&D corded trimmer was nice but always hurt my back to lean over and such. It had an edger mode too, but the wheels on the Worx make it a clear winner. I have trimmed the yard and edged about 6 times now and am still on the same spool of trimming cord. I have never had to stop and take it apart to feed the line back thru unlike all the other brands. It feeds the line automatically each time you start it to the right length. When I do the yard, I start with this tool. If (very rarely) I ever need more charge on the Lithium-Ion battery, then I put it on the charger and mow. By the time I finish mowing, it is fully charged and ready to go again. Try that with any other brand. My yard has never looked so good. If you have a small to medium sized yard and want a nice light-weight trimmer with just the right power, this is it. And did I mention NO GAS needed......

Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X CleanShot Upright Deep Cleaner Reviews

This is going to be short because the other reviews covered the operation nicely. I just want to comment on how nicely the machine cleaned up afterwards. I just bought it and have used it once. I was amazed how easy it was to clean it up after cleaning the carpets. I have a dog that sheds a lot and there was hair everywhere on the machine when I got done. I ended up taking off the plastic parts on the bottom of the machine to get all the hair out from under and around the brushes. The parts came off easily and cleaned up very nicely. They also went back on well. The 2 in 1 tank also cleaned up easily.

OK I will say I've owned bissells before and they always worked good but something ended up breaking and I'd get a new one. So after my last one broke I got a Hoover Agility. So I will base my review on comparing the two. The hoover was good, did a decent job, drove me nuts how it didn't have a rinse option, so if I tried to rinse my carpet was soaked for days. It seemed to lose the suction power after a while. It also didn't have a dryer or a heater, which I realized I really missed from other bissell. I still have it and will keep it, figure one downstairs and one upstairs why not? I used the new Bissell on my new carpet in the basement thanks to very muddy dogs. It work amazing, the carpet looked just like it did when I bought it. I was really impressed. It even dried quicker with the dryer on this machine. The only thing and it may be my carpet was I ended up with alot of fuzz. And I mean alot but that could just have been my carpet. The machine is alot heavier then I thought but I like the idea of the clean water/dirty water sharing the same tank, the Hoover is seperate and it drove me nuts. One would always be filled or gone before the other one. The only thing I was a little annoyed with and it may just be me, is that I had a hard time seeing the water being sucked up, it is just the machine is so big you don't see it that well. But overall I am much more happier with this cleaner then the Hoover, I liked the Hoover just doesn't cut it that well for a house with 2 kids, 5 cats and 2 big dogs. I'm going to try it on my boys room and that will be the big thing! Id' say definitely go for it if you are considering this. Definitely worth the money you spend! I was also surprised and impressed with how many extra attachments it came with.. including a hard wood floor attachment. The hoover's attachments were cumbersome and often fell off the cleaner.

Cheap Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor

2010-03-22T00:29:00.000-07:00

Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor

Prepare delicious, vitamin-rich juices in seconds, thanks to the extra large feed chute and efficient stainless steel micro mesh filter. No need to pre-chop fruits and veggies such as apples, tomatoes, and carrots. Just place them in the chute and push with the pusher. While juicing in bulk, there's no need to disassemble the juice fountain to empty the pulp container, it just slides right out. A powerful motor pushes fruits and veggies through the mesh filter to separate seeds and fiber, maximizing juice output. You can have a glass of juice in 5 seconds, and be through clean up in not much more. The easy clean design has fewer parts and rounded smooth surfaces that can be easily rinsed after use.

Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor Reviews

I own a juicer that is more expensive and rated as one of the better juicer on the market... it does a lot but it is bulky, heavy, cumbersome and very difficult to clean so I never use it. I did some research and decided to buy the Breville juicer. I made an excellent choice. I love this juicer. It has great power, is quick, effective, good-looking, fits nicely on my counter and yields lots of juice... but most of all it is so very very very easy to clean. I have only owned it for 24 hours and I've used it three times already. It assists me with keeping everything very simple and enjoyable!!!!

Wow!!! The most life changing appliance I have ever owned. I was given a Juiceman II for a wedding present years ago and used it a few times but got fed up with all the preparation and cleaning time. The Juice Fountain on the other hand is amazing. I use it almost every day and it has changed my life. It's like having a juice bar in my own kitchen and I am making healthy recipes like carrots, cabbage and apples, as well as great tasting juices for the kids like strawberry and pineapple. I pick the fruit, I pick the ingredients and it takes only seconds to make and a minute to clean. It says on the box that it makes a glass of juice in 5 seconds and it's true. My husband and I wake up energetic and refreshed and I'm now off caffeine altogether. I can't say enough about this appliance. Thank you Breville.

Brother 1034D 3/4 Lay-In Thread Serger Reviews

I bought my first serger eight years ago and it was a Brother. I liked it but went to have my Singer sewing machine tuned up a couple of months ago and got talked into buying a Singer serger. I traded in my Brother and that was a MISTAKE! I took the Singer back for a better one and that one is now sitting in the box in the basement. I then ordered the 1034D Brother serger from Amazon and I am happy again. It threads much easier, it is quieter and I don't have to keep re-adjusting the tension. I like the foot feed lever on the right. I also like that there are no obstructions near the loopers and the regular needles. With the Singer I could not get my fingers in there for threading. I would recommend this Serger to anyone who sews and wants a machine that is EASY to use.

I have been sewing for years....and I can't believe I waited so long to get a serger! It has made sewing so much more of a pleasure. I can work with delicate fabrics now without any worries. This serger is the best for the money! It serges the most delicate of fabrics like a professional. If you are looking for a good little "workhorse" serger without spending tons of money this is the one for you. I love it!

Cheap Masterbuilt 20070106 30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker, Black

2010-03-20T00:17:00.000-07:00

Masterbuilt 20070106 30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker, Black

Known for quality and innovation, Masterbuilt's cooking products set the standard. With a powder-coated steel outer body, Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse comes with four smoking racks that allow ample room for turkey, sausage, chicken, ham, pork, fish, jerky, vegetables, and more. It is 100° to 275°F thermostatically controlled for a perfect temperature every time. It features a push-button precision digital control panel and an 0-24 hour digital timer with auto shut-off. It offers a safe and convenient side-loading wood tray. This Smoker has 100-percent insulation for energy-efficient cooking.

Masterbuilt 20070106 30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker Reviews

I bought this a month ago and it works great, and is super easy because of the digital thermostat. Works best and gets the most smoke flavor if you leave the vent all the way open and reload the chips every 45 mins. Soak the chips for only about half an hour, you don't want them too saturated. I knew ribs would be great, but I had no idea how awesome a whole chicken would turn out, really moist and smokey all the way thru. Everyone says it's the best chicken they've ever had . Cook ribs and chicken with a bbq rub at 225 degrees, for 4 hours and fill the drip pan at least half way with water at the start. Haven't done a brisket yet, or a whole turkey, but that's next.

It works great. You just have to get a feel for the proper amount of wood chips to be using as it is not set and forget. I feel it is far superior to charcoal smolers as you never need to interupt the meat to keep the heat going. If you have never smoked food before, you will have a learning curve and the instructions with the Smokehouse are very brief.

Lightweight design, heavy duty casters and carry handle make this portable unit easy to maneuver to its best location.

Soleus Air DP1-70-03, 70 Pint Portable Energy Star Dehumidifier Reviews

My basement runs about 80% humidity all year round and stays about a constant 62 as well.I have had this unit running for a month and it has done everything I have asked of it.The basement is 1200 square foot and this dehumidifier has lowered the humidity to 55% which is where I have it set.I have it hosed to a drain and it is fairly loud on the high setting.The only negative I would note is the bucket seems a little flimsy if you are opting not to hose it to a drain.Actually it is the handle of the bucket that is suspect.Overall very happy with this product.

My old dehumidifier died and we needed to replace it so I checked all the reviews for different dehumidifiers and this one kept coming up with great reviews. Yes, it is a bit noisy, but it pulls the musty smell out of the air and has been pumping out a full bucket every day and it's not even summer yet. I live in Georgia so the weather here in summer is very humid and our lower level has always been very humid and smelled musty and slightly moldy, but since running this every day at 50% humidity it is perfect down there and I enjoy being in the lower level again. Thank you Soleus for making a great unit.

Steam away stains and odors from upholstery, carpeting, floor mats and hard-to-reach places. Steam produced by this cleaner is hot and pressurized. Care must be taken to avoid burns or other injuries. Never point nozzle at people or pets. Please read all instructions prior to using your McCulloch Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner.

McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner Reviews

I absolutely love this steamer! Unlike the smaller hand held steamers this one holds enough water to steam for almost an hour! And it packs a punch! I can't stop steaming! I've steamed my cupboards, refridgerator, oven, microwave, floor boards, carpet, silk plants, tile floor, showers, tubs and more! I haven't been disappointed once! Also, cleaning without harsh chemicals is such a blessing because of my sensitive skin! Light weight, quick and easy to use! Love IT!!

I agree with all the favorable comments others have left on this steamer, and I bought it based on those comments. It is very well-made, with high-quality heavy-duty materials. The tank is big enough that it will steam a long time without being refilled. We are preparing to move into a rental house, and I shudder to think of the germs left by prior tennants, even though it looks fairly clean. Today I took the steamer over and attacked the dirtiest thing in the house - the electric cooktop. I took off as many parts as I could and steamed and wiped them one-by-one in the sink. I'm sure some of these parts haven't been this clean since they were new!

Cheap George Foreman GRP90WGR Next Grilleration Removable-Plate Grill with 5 Plates, Red

2010-03-17T03:05:00.001-07:00

George Foreman GRP90WGR Next Grilleration Removable-Plate Grill with 5 Plates, Red

George Foreman Next Grilleration Grill with five removable plates for contact grill, griddle, waffle, bake and panini cooking. All grills are coated with George Tourgh exclusive scratch resistant triple tough non-stick coating. Dishwasher safe removable plates for easy clean up.

George Foreman GRP90WGR Reviews

We purchased the original Forman Grill, forever ago and decided it was time to upgrade. I purchased this one & just love it ... Even more than I loved the first one. I usually only made grilled cheese or warmed up leftover hamburgers on it for my little ones. With this one, among other things, I am able to make waffles, cook bacon & eggs for a great Suday breakfast for a family of 6. The only drawback for me is the fact that I've got to store all those different plates and try not to scratch them up too badly. Overall this is a worthwhile purchase.

I had the family size George Foreman grill for almost ten years when the non-stick coating finally wore off. I finally decided to replace it. I originally was planning to purchase the Cuisinart Griddler afer reading all the fine reviews, but while I was shopping I saw this Grilleration. It looks so much like the Griddler that I thought it was the same thing. It is almost identical in appearance to the Griddler, except in red. Some people have said the design is outdated, I think it's very retro looking - which is of course very "in" now. I chose it over the Griddler because it slopes, allowing fat to drain, like the other Foreman grills. I really like this feature. In addition, the grooves are deeper than the Griddler. It comes with an additional flat baking dish, and the two waffle plates and a steak plate. It also comes with a very nice cookbook, better than anything I've received in a kitchen appliance. We followed the directions exactly and had great waffles in 4 minutes. I'm not sure why other people had problems with it. I've never had a waffle iron, but this was no problem to do. I will keep this on my counter full-time, as I mostly like to grill meats and vegetables for meals. It's pricey - which is unfortunate, but it has already got much use in my kitchen, and if it lasts as long as my previous Foreman grill then I should get my money's worth.

Cheap Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press

2010-03-16T00:04:00.000-07:00

Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press

Breville die cast commercial-style designed Citrus Press is wonderfully functional and excellently designed. It has a die-cast stainless steel juicing cone that will fit all size citrus fruit. It boasts innovative juicing action for maximum juice extraction. It also has two stainless steel filters for variable pulp control. It gleams with brushed stainless die-cast steel housing and motor body. It will be an item that will enhance any kitchen countertop.

Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press Reviews

This is an extremely well made machine that is very easy to use.It comes with two different gauge strainers to allow either more or less pulp to fill the glass. I prefer to use the fine strainer so as not to allow the very small seeds to get through. Then I'll take a small spoon and fill the glass with pulp after I've weeded out the seeds. This does not take long. Clean up is very easy. This is not an inexpensive juicer,but if you want a machine that should last for a very long time and is a pleasure to use then this is the one. It also looks great sitting out on the counter.

I juice my own oranges several times a week, and after my pathetic Cuisinart juicer gave up the ghost, I knew I needed something a little more robust. I read the reviews, and this looked like the best, so I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth and sprang for it. Yes, it's an obscene amount of money for a citrus juicer, but as a friend said, it will probably last a lifetime. It's that solid. And if you use it a lot, it's worth it. I love how quiet it is, how fast and thoroughly it juices (except with very pulpy fruit--it doesn't particularly like those). I have one or two minute quibbles: Because it doesn't have a reverse mechanism, there's often some juice left among the pulp in the strainer, with no effective way of extracting it, and the spindle and adjacent depression in the base can get sticky, and are a bit hard to clean. Then again, they don't come in contact with the fruit, so it probably doesn't matter that much. Once you make the decision to spend this kind of money on a juicer, I can't imagine that you won't love it.

Cheap InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer

InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer Reviews

I am the sort who reads consumer reports and online product reviews before making a decision -- even about a garbage disposal. This seems to be a fine product. I had read someone who said it was so quite they thought it wasn't working. I thought, "yea, right." But then the same thing happened to me. When I first turned it on (without waste the first time), I had to look to be certain it was even functioning. One quick caution -- I also had to use larger wire nuts than the ones that came with the electrical connection kit. Also, there seem to be two versions of the evolution disposal out there. I have seen both a 5/8 hp and a 3/4 hp by the same name at two major competing home supply retailers. I have the 3/4hp from Amazon. While I suspect they are both fine, you will want to be aware of what you are getting.

I can't say enough about how happy I am with the Evolution Compact disposal from InSinkErator. I had a fairly high end Kenmore disposal for about a year. It did a good job but was noisy. Then this year there was a fire in my condo unit that resulted in several rooms having to be rebuilt, one of which was the kitchen. When working up the remodeling details, I ran across the Evolution Compact at Home Depot. I wasn't up-to-speed on this new series so I went home and read up as much material as I could find. In short, though I didn't really need a new disposal, I decided to give it a try to see if I could reduce the noise in the kitchen. I am SO GLAD I spent the money for the Evolution Compact. It is significantly quieter than the Kenmore. My sink doesn't rattle like it's going to come loose from the countertop when the disposal is running. Best of all, the Evolution quickly gets rid of anything I've thrown at it, all they while doing it quietly. One thing that attracted my eye in the store was the blue color of unit. It stood out from all the blacks and greys around. While appearence in not necessarily something you look for in a garbage disposal, it does project the image of a high-quality, high-end appliance, something that can be a positive if for any reason you decide to sell your home. I highly recommend the Evolution Series to anyone looking for a new garbage disposal. I agree with a prior reviewer, there are other places where you find the Evolution Compact for $159 so it's worth shopping around unless you live in an area where you have to make a long drive to get to a home center like Lowes or Home Depot.

Cheap Zojirushi CD-WBC40 Micom 4-Liter Electric Water Boiler and Warmer, Champagne Gold

2010-03-14T01:50:00.000-08:00

Zojirushi CD-WBC40 Micom 4-Liter Electric Water Boiler and Warmer, Champagne Gold

Perfect for serving hot beverages to a crowd, this electric water boiler and warmer provides up to 135 ounces of hot water for instant coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and more. The unit features a micro-computerized temperature-control system and four keep-warm temperature settings that include 140, 175, 195, and 208 degrees F. Simple one-touch controls supply a reboil button, which reboils water to 212 degrees F; a dispense button; an unlock button that must be pressed before pressing the dispense button; and temperature- and timer-setting buttons. The unit's energy-saving timer function--from 6 to 10 hours--automatically turns on the boiler at a later time to save electricity, and its LCD display shows the actual water temperature at all times,

as well as the temperature and timer settings. The dispenser also comes with a cafe-drip dispensing mode, which decreases the amount of water dispensed to 60 percent of the normal setting, making it suitable for brewing cafe drip coffee. Even more, its steam-save function automatically lowers the power just before boiling to reduce the amount of steam emitted from the steam vent. Other thoughtful details include automatic safety shut-off, a wide window water-level gauge that shows how much water remains in the unit, and an interchangeable melody or beep indicator to alert the completion of the boiling process or a low water level. A removable 3-foot power cord, swivel base, carry handle, and easy-to-clean nonstick interior provide added convenience. The 700-watt water boiler and warmer measures 11-3/16 by 8-3/16 by 13-1/2 inches.

Zojirushi CD-WBC40 Micom 4-Liter Electric Water Boiler and Warmer Reviews

I thought that I was a little silly buying this thing as I have an electric kettle that works fine. However, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this thing. I am on a diet and drink a lot of tea now (instead of sodas, juice, etc.). I like to make large mugs of tea instead of making a whole pot each time. This appliance gives me hot water instantly and keeps it hot all day long. I am glad that I got the four-litre instead of the three liter. I am surprised at how often I end up filling the thing! I use it more than I thought I would. The different temperature settings are great if you enjoy gourmet teas. You can set the guage for the optimal brew temp and there is no guessing. The quality of the product is also excellent. The color is very neutral and goes with most everything, but it would have been nice to see a range of other colors to choose from.

I bought my first Zojirushi water boiler in 2004 soon after I visited Japan for the first time. It has changed my habits in the kitchen and I do wonder every day how I managed without it - it is a brilliant product, and it lacks in the fanciest kitchens. This one I got for my Mom. She loves it and so does everyone else in the household. Apparently it is more advanced than mine because it has a very nice chime when water is ready, and 3 or 4 different temperatures for varieties of tea. A must-have in the kitchen from the ONLY brand I would trust. Zojirushi rocks!

Cheap Oster A5 Turbo 2-Speed Professional Animal Clipper

Oster A5 Turbo 2-Speed Professional Animal Clipper

Heavy duty professional corded animal clipper. Powerful universal rotary motor. 2-speed. 3,000 strokes per minute on low speed and 4,000 strokes per minute on high speed. Compatible with all Oster CryogenX detachable blades. Includes: clipper with standard Oster #10 blade, blade guard, blade oil, grease, cleaning brush, extra brush and spring set and instructions.

Oster A5 Turbo 2-Speed Professional Animal Clipper Reviews

These are expensive, but worth it. I bought a $80 Andis model at Petsmart and they lasted six months. I have had these for almost a year, and with 3 dogs, and cat, they are great. Only downside is that they're too big for little faces ( I have 2 shih-tuz and one Lhasa ). I have purchased a set of Oster mini-max for faces, and just use scissors. Haven't tried clipper guards or diff. size blades, but the clippers paid for themselves the first usage. At $50 per dog, per groom, a $150 set doesn't seem so outrageous. Don't bother buying anything cheaper if you groom your dog on a regular basis and are trying to save money on a professional groomer. You'll end up buying a new set of clippers every year.

I purchased an oster A5 clipper 23 years ago, and used it professionally for 12 years, I still have it, and use it for grooming my own dogs, and my friends dogs and cats regularly. After sharpening the blades for around 7 years, I had to buy a new set, and now am looking to replace those. All blades can get hot but a few tricks will keep you and your pet comfortable. Use your vaccuum to get excess hair out that builds up or a blade brush to keep blades hair free. Kool lube is great for cooling off your blades or you can have an x-tra set and switch off. I lay mine on a cool metal surface to help cool them, and work on another area with a different blade if I need to.It still is one of the best purchases I made, and easily maintained when you follow the easy cleaning directions provided, they will last for years!!!

Nespresso CitiZ Automatic Espresso Maker and Milk Frother Reviews

All, I bought this two weeks ago in the U.S.A and it is amazing. Finally what was coveted by the Europeans is now here. The espresso shots,lattes and cappacinos I make with this machine are sooo much better than Starbucks, Petes, and my local shops. If you drink lattes more than a couple times a week, this pays for itself in 3-5 months. What I loved about it was how easy it was to operate, easy to clean (Super easy), and how quick my lattes were made. It is MUCH faster than brewing a cup of regular coffee, and cleans faster. Yes, the nespresso capsules are mail order, but they arrive very quickly and Nespresso has quite a variety. The reason it is mail order instead of walkin store, is to keep the quality and so that the capsules don't stale on the shelves.The Milk frother works both hot or cold, and is teflon coated for easy clean. I invited my neighbors to check out our system, and after they tasted the coffe, they went out and bought one. They called us to tell us how happy they were with their machine. This is a gem that has made life better and no longer am I bothered waiting in lines for mediocre espresso (With 19Bars of pressure, the espresso has a nice crema (smooth taste). Plus I don't have to be a talented barrista in the morning when I am half asleep and could'nt do a jumping jack even if my life depended on it. Its cruise control espresso and Lexus taste. Plus I control the taste... can make it with organic milk and syrups. The Milk Frother is magnetic and amazed me at how frothy it would get my cappacinos. Love the blue Arpegio Lungo, and within 2 minutes I have a latte, within 5 minutes I am poured and everything is cleaned. Plus it is made in Switzerland- QUALITY. Citz....I'm a beliver, the experience online and in-person was white glove.

Cheap Omega J8003 Nutrition Center Single-Gear Commercial Masticating Juicer, White

2010-03-10T01:54:00.000-08:00

Omega J8003 Nutrition Center Single-Gear Commercial Masticating Juicer, White

Omega nutrition center is a masticating-style juice extractor. Using a low speed of 80 RPM's results in minimal heat build-up and oxidation promoting healthy enzymes and longer lasting juices. They're designed and engineered for health-conscious individuals who want greater variety in their daily fruit and vegetable juicing routine by having the ability to also juice wheatgrass and leafy greens. Not just for juicing, they turn nuts into nut butter, extrude pasta, grind coffee and spices, mince herbs and garlic, make baby food, and whip up soy milk in a flash. They don't clog, foam or build up hear, for the most nutritious drinks and snacks you'll make for your family.

Omega J8003 Reviews

My last juicer was centrifugal type and lasted 20 years. When it died recently, I started researching a replacement only to find a mind-boggling amount of brands and styles. After all the time invested, I'm glad I decided on this Omega. The juicer is really impressive. Very compact. Quiet. My first item through was frozen bananas using the blank and I may never buy store-bought ice cream again. Next I juiced a combo of veggies and fruits. All processed smoothly, quickly, and effortlessly. The juice is clearly superior to that of my old juicer. No froth, very cold and fresh tasting. The cleanup is NOTHING compared to my last juicer. It cleans completely and quickly; no mess stuck in the screen that you have to work at. Very few parts. Really sturdy. This is a dream juicer, and at this price it's even more incredible. I'm thrilled with it!

I wanted to get into juicing so I started researching juicers on Amazon. I originally bought the Breville BJE200XL. This juicer is very popular on this site and received good reviews. I beg to differ. It was cumbersome, difficult to clean, and the juice didn't taste very good. I immediately returned this juicer and did more research. In my opinion, if you're serious about juicing I would highly recommend the Omega 8003. It's quiet, easy to clean, and produces great tasting, high quality juice. It's worth every penny and i'll never make the mistake of buying a centrifugal juicer again.

Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer, Black and Chrome

Omega's 8006 Nutrition Center has an exclusive "dual stage" masticating extraction method. It has a low rotation speed of 80 RPM's and continuous juicing with automatic pulp ejection. High juice yield with very dry pulp and with less foaming than other double gear juicers. This unit is engineered for quiet operation and long life and with heavy duty commercial construction.

Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer Reviews

Ok so I have now used three juicers, the Jack Lalanne, the Breville compact fountain, and now the OMEGA 8006. The Omega is the best of those three by far! It's quiet. I get a lot more juice that is less foamy! Looks and taste better. And the pulp is drier than I have ever seen from the three juicers. I now do not feel like I am wasting as much produce as I was using the other two juicers. I can't wait to use if as a processor and to make pasta! Oh yeah, it's a breeze to clean!

This product was more than I expected. I had been using another brand that functions similarly, but it was much slower and the juice was much foamier. This product Rocks as a mid priced juicer with great components, fast juicing (once you slice your veg's/fruits to fit in the chute) and very little foam. The item is so sturdy, it's very easy to take apart and assemble and clean. It takes about 5 minutes to juice 12-16 oz juice if you have the prep work done. And about 3-5 min's to clean the parts. The juice quality is definitely better than centrifugal juicers. This juicer does a great job on Greens especially. This juicer makes me want to juice all the time. It also comes with other parts so you can make your own almond milk, peanut butter, pasta, baby food, etc.. I am going to freeze bananas and berries and put it through the blank coned screen and make a smooth frozen yogurt type desert. The 8003, 8005, and 8006 are functionally all the same. I have the 8006 and the new auger is black, so it's very nice and it's just a little stronger and 15 yr. warranty instead of 10 years. I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

Cheap Petsafe PIF-275-19 Wireless Dog Collar with Radio Receiver for Wireless Fence

Petsafe PIF-275-19 Wireless Dog Collar with Radio Receiver for Wireless Fence

Got another dog to add to the Petsafe Wireless Fence system? This Petsafe collar lets you add another pooch to the pack, keeping him or safe inside with all the rest. Designed for Petsafe's Wireless Fence System (IF-300), this incredibly versatile collar comes complete with collar, batteries, a pair of short probes for short-hair dogs and long probes for long-hair dogs. The unit weighs only 2-1/2 ounces, so Spot will barely know it's there. And, with 3 levels of electric correction plus a beep-only mode that gives the dog a 3-second warning to stop barking before the harmless electric correction, the collar is plenty versatile for training, and humane, too. The purchase includes one battery for quick setup.

Petsafe PIF-275-19 Wireless Dog Collar with Radio Receiver for Wireless Fence Reviews

My husband and I raise AKC labs and have used the Petsafe Wireless system for years. Our dogs learn quickly where their boundary is, and have not suffered any ill affects from this excellent product. We recommend this product to all purchasers of our Labs. Not only will it keep them safely within the confines of their yard, it prevents them from being hurt by possibly wandering onto nearby busy streets. I'd rather they be "warned" by a very small "charge" of electricity than lose them to the wheels of a car. So far, we have purchased 4 of these collars, and I'm ordering more today. FYI, the company producing these collars really go out of their way to make sure the product is correct and have stood behind their guarantee when we had a small problem with one of them. They sent me a new collar and had us return the old one...in that order, no questions!! Pretty good customer service in today's day and age!!! I'll continue to do business with them!!!

I purchased this item because I was nine months pregnant in the winter and did not want to continue walking my dog. I thought at first it would be cruel to the animal, but I have since realized that it is just a learning tool for them. My pug doesn't even go within 10 feet of his border. Worth the money for sure.

InSinkErator Evolution Excel 1.0 HP Household Food Waste Disposer Reviews

The Insinkerator Evolution Excel is simply the best!!!! This year for Thanksgiving, a guest was helping in the kitchen and put a large amount of potato peels down the disposer. I was concerned because not only was the disposer jammed full of potato peels, but there were a bunch of peels in the sink waiting to be stuffed into the disposer. (This has happened with our old disposer and I got the privilege of trying to unclog a clogged sink - not a fun thing to do with a house full of company). I watched her turn on the disposer and to my amazement they were all disposed of without a jam. At this point the Evolution Excel was worth every penny I paid for it. My only complaint about this disposer is that is almost too quiet. When you turn it on, you can barely hear it run. I have to remind myself to insure it has been turned off because you get a quiet hum when it is running, not like the old disposer that was LOUD. This is great if you have a sleeping baby, etc where you don't want to wake up the neighbors when you run the disposer.

It took me about 45 minutes to install my new insinkerator that I purchased from Amazon. I'm no plumber yet found this pretty simple. It's a little heavy, but most able bodied individuals can install this without any help. The only thing I had to buy that wasn't in the box was plumbers putty and a cable connector for the electrical. I couldn't find anything to "dispose of" to truely test it out except for a 6 month old rock hard lime. Needless to say the new disposal didn't even flinch as it quietly obliterated the lime. I am certain that thing would still be clanking around inside my old POS Kenmore. I am thrilled with this product so far. Good price on Amazon compared to Lowes as well--

Cheap Breville BKE820XL Variable Temperature Kettle

2010-03-05T08:38:00.000-08:00

Breville BKE820XL Variable Temperature Kettle

The Variable Temperature kettle allows the user to heat water to specific temperatures that achieve perfect taste profiles for the four major types of teas and French press coffee. 5 Pre-set brewing temperatures include: 175F for Green Tea; 185F for White Tea; 195F for Oolong Tea; 200F for French Press: and 212F for boiling and black tea. The European stainless steel design make it a beautiful table statement.

Breville BKE820XL Variable Temperature Kettle Reviews

I was a little hesitant to spend so much on hot water, but my wife was always going through such a routine to get just the right temp for her green tea and the fact that our old hotpot was so ugly we decided to purchase the Breville. It absolutely does not disappoint. It will heat water to 5 different temps based on what you are using it for - anywhere from green tea to press coffee to boiling. It will also hold the temp for you. This is an elegant, beautiful, well thought out machine. Definitely worth the money.

After melting yet another teapot on my stove top I decided to get an electric kettle. This one has a real quality feel to it. It heats the water much faster than a stove top kettle and it's insulated so the water will stay at temperature for a long time even if you don't use the Hold Temperature feature. It automatically shuts itself off after the water reaches temperature so there is no danger of it burning itself out which was my primary reason for buying it. Frankly it's cheaper brother, which cost half as much, probably does just as good a job. I opted for this one because the automatic lid opener operated so smoothly on this one, it was a little rougher on the cheap one, and I like gadgets and this one lots of buttons. So if you are a gadget freak who isn't particularly price sensitive get this one, if you are more interested in value for your money then get it's cheaper brother.

Black & Decker MM875 Lawn Hog 12 Amp 19-Inch Electric Mulching Mower with Rear Bag

A powerful electric motor and the ability to bag or mulch give the Black & Decker 19-Inch Lawn Hog Electric Mower the versatility to match your mowing style. The large cutting deck adjusts easily to your preferred grass height, and a special comfort grip handle can be adjusted to match the perfect mowing posture for you. Electric power provides a consistent cut without dealing with the mess and added cost of gasoline engines.

Black & Decker MM875 Reviews

I love this mower. There is no gas or oil to mess with and no cord to pull to start it. Just plug it in and go! The cord isn't that difficult to manipulate around. Just keep the cord laying in the part of the lawn that you've already mowed, and you're set. Height adjustment is also super easy with this mower. It's almost winter, and I couldn't help but laugh when I saw all my neighbors draining oil and gas from their mowers. The Lawn Hog is so much easier. The only people who might be unhappy with this mower are those who think the loudness of their mower (/motorcycle/car/tools/etc...you know the type!) makes them more "manly." Little do they know!

Do not listen to all those who complain about this mower. It is perfect. If you are smart enough to look at this product online then you will have no problem working with this mower. No gas, no oil, plenty of power. I live in Utah where it snows a ton and the grass is thick and green. I had no problem cutting my thick grass with this mower. I did not have to go over it twice like some people are arguing. Save the environment by using electric mowers. Very light and easy to push. The cord is not a problem as long as you buy a long one 100 feet or so. It picked up all the clippings like a charm. I will never go back to a gas hog again.

Jack Lalanne's JLSS Power Juicer Deluxe Stainless-Steel Electric Juicer Reviews

I recieved this juicer for my birthday and after reading reviews I was a little worried.I was a little scared using it the first time. But after using it a couple of times I am completely happy. It's my first juicer and I never liked to eat fruit. But now I buy all these different fruits and try new juices. I can even convince my children to drink them. As long as you follow everything that is in the operating manual booklet there shouldn't be any problems. People wrote in the review that " Bananas gets stuck in machine. Well in the book it says "you can not juice Bananas". Cleaning this machine is easy too. You can put a plastic bag in plastic pulp collector that will make cleaning easier. I would recommend this Juicer. I read people complaint about carrots being stuck in Juicer. Well I just made some Carrot Orange Juice this morning and had no problems. I just added carrots with Orange together.

This machine exceeded my expectations! It is unbelievably quiet, the juice is yummy & healthy, the pulp is good for smoothies & soups, and cleanup is a piece of cake -- nothing is greasy, so you just scrape the pulp into your storage container, rinse the parts, brush the screen with the included veggie brush, & put it in the dish drainer. Why bother with the dishwasher? One tip: buy the cheap bags of the little apples. Another tip: if multiple people want different kind of juices, do the simple sweet ones first, followed by anything savory or exotic -- then clean just once. My goal is to use it at least once a day ... I think I'll go buy some tomatoes right now!

When you purchase this great appliance, KitchenAid will donate fifty dollars to The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Cook for the Cure! More is more sometimes, at least in the world of small appliances. and such is the case with the KitchenAid Artisan mixer. It has a tilting head, like the KSM90, but it has a larger 5 qt. capacity bowl. It also gives you more oomph, as in 325 watts of cookie dough busting power. What's not to love? If you've been considering a stand mixer, this may be the perfect "starter model" for you.

KitchenAid KSM150PSPK Komen Foundation Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer Reviews

I LOVE this mixer. All I had to do to set it up was plug it in. It's simple to change between mixing tools (just twist and pull to remove, twist and push to attach), and the results are fabulous. The instruction manual looks large, but that's just because it's in 3 languages and contains great recepies so you can get started right away. I've never written a review for something I purchased online before, but this product is certainly worth it. I have wanted this mixer for years and my boyfriend finally got it for me because of the wonderful price and fast, not to mention FREE, shipping that Amazon.com offers.

I purchased this for my wife who has RA and lots of trouble using her hands, so i got the mixer for her because she loves to cook. Now she makes bisquits and dumplings with ease. It is a great mixer. delivery was very quick when UPS brought it my wife could not lift the box so the driver brought it into the house for her which was very helpful to her. Would gladly buy KitchenAid brand again. Amazon was super!!! fast shipping even when i used the super saver option

HP DreamScreen 100 10.2-Inch Wireless Connected Screen Reviews

I bought this for my wife, for Christmas. At first, she thought it was just another Digital Frame. She later found out that it was so much more. It may have taken some time to set it up and get started, but it is worth it. We have it displayed in our Living Room and turn it on whenever we have company. Our kids are amazed by it everyday and love the pictures that we have uploaded on it and play with the music we also uploaded on it or stream from Pandora! It's just plain great.

This review is center around what we intend to use it as: A digital photo frame. We went in looking to our local retailer ready to buy the Sony 9.2" frame when we saw that this one was on sale for just $20 more (it was $80 off). I had brought the CF card from my Nikon digital SLR that had a couple hundred pictures on it, and this frame easily had the nicest looking picture of all in the store, with the Sony a very close second. It blew the Kodak and Insignia frames away. And when you add in the Internet capabilities for facebook, weather, etc. it was an easy choice. Had it been the full $250 we likely would have gone with the Sony. It was nice, but not $100 nicer. But at the sale price there was simply no way we could pass it up. Don't be fooled by the lower rating. Many of the other reviewers are holding this frame to a whole different standard (and maybe justifiably so if paying full price). Definitely recommended if you can get it on sale. Most of the 9-10" frames are in the $130-$150 range, and we got this for $170. Would I have purchased if I had to pay full price? Maybe, but I'd probably go for the Sony if I was just looking for a photo frame. And if I'm looking for a do it all media center on a 10" screen? I dunno. I wasn't looking for one. :)

Panasonic NN-SN667W 1-1/5-Cubic-Foot 1300-Watt Microwave Oven Reviews

I chose this microwave because its dimensions are smaller than Sharp's microwaves of similar capacity (I have to fit it on a shelf). I bought it from Amazon for its free-shipping offer because I wanted it shipped directly to my work place, and I'd prefer dealing with Amazon rather than an unknown seller on its web site. It's a spanking white microwave and works well as one would expect from Panasonic. It has been almost a month and nothing to complain about.

Our last Sharp micro (same size as this one) lasted only less than two years so I didn't want to go with another sharp. Our selection is very limited because unfortunately we have to put a micro on the counter and needed to stick with this exact size and color. There's not much to choose from in this size in white!
I really like this microwave. It's very simple to operate and it does a very good job. If our old one was set to say %50 power, you could hear the power going on and off. With this one, it's a constant reduction of power and I believe it cooks more evenly. It's straight-forward and not fancy, which suits us just fine. Appears to be good quality, but time will tell. We've had it only a couple of weeks. The button that opens the door works ok for us, but I can see why some think it's a little flimsy. Not a deal breaker though by any means. It sets against the backsplash, so it doesn't slide, but would if it didn't have that support. Nothing a little rubber under the feet wouldn't take care of.

Meet iRobot Scooba Floor Washing Robot, the world's first floor-washing robot for the home that preps, washes, scrubs, and dries your floor--all by itself.

Unlike mop and bucket methods that just spread dirty water around your floor, Scooba uses fresh Clorox Scooba cleaning solution from start to finish. With the press of a button, the robot will leave your floors clean, dry, and ready to walk on. Scooba is simple to use, and safe on all sealed hardwood, tile, and linoleum flooring

iRobot 330 Scooba Floor-Washing Robot Reviews

I bought a Scooba after I purchased my Roomba. They both work so well together that not only is my house cleaner but my asthma has went down as well. The Scooba is nothing less than amazing, my wife and I have a concrete kitchen floor and hardwood in the rest of the house. We let the Scooba go non-stop for several days between charging and now that the entire house is clean we run it every 3 days. :) Hands down awesome.

I've had a Roomba Vacuum for years and absolutely love it so I decided to take the plunge and get a scooba for my kitchen floor. I was using one of those disposable wet jet mop pad things and found them useless because the pad gets dirty in about 30 seconds and you end up just pushing the dirt around your floor. The thing I really like about Scooba is that only clean solution goes on your floor and after being scrubbed by the revolving brush, gets sucked up into a separate tank. Trust me when I tell you you'll be amazed when you empty the dirty tank and black water comes out. I can honestly say my floors have never been cleaner with scooba. Clean up only takes about 5 minutes and consists of rinsing the clean & dirty tanks and a few parts under water. Highly recommended and a lifesaver!

Bounty Hunter QD2GWP Quick Draw II Metal Detector with Pinpointer and Carry Bag Review

Bounty Hunter QD2GWP Quick Draw II Metal Detector with Pinpointer and Carry Bag

Beach combers, treasure and relic hunters, prospectors and coin shooters will love the Quick Draw II metal detector from Bounty Hunter for it’s comfort, sensitivity and discrimination control, and digital readout for easy of use. A precision device for locating metallic items, such as jewelry, coins, bullets, and other various artifacts buried up to 3 feet deep, the detector features an 8-inch interchangeable waterproof coil with sensitivity and discrimination controls, so you’ll know whether there are valuable coins down there or just rusty nails and tin cans. The Quick Draw II’s auto notch and selective notch filters let the detector discriminate between metal types. In auto notch the detector automatically displays the type and size of metal found.

Selective notch filter mode lets you set the detector to include or exclude any object type or combination of types, finding for example, 1/2 dollars and ignoring unwanted items or finding any type of coin only, or excluding pop can pull tops for example while showing everything else. The detector notifies you with either an audible tone or visual indicator as to what range of metal types a detected object is likely to fall in for further weeding out of undesired items. Touch pad selection and 3-level iron discrimination help produce more coins and fewer rusty nails. The unit's handy LCD display with target identification and depth readout help pinpoint the location of artifacts. Not only does the Bounty Hunter discriminate between valuable metals and iron, it displays coin sizes up to 8 inches deep and detects larger objects up to 3 feet down. A handy headphone jack helps you tune into the search even near noisy streets (headphones sold separately). The purchase is backed by a 5-year limited warranty and includes a storage pouch and digging tool.

Bounty Hunter QD2GWP Reviews

shipped on time important to me. Use product to spend time with daughter and she loves it easy to use, and getting even easier. have not really found to much yet but every time we go out we find a little more. important to me not to discourage her kids need to find those coins or what ever so not to get bored. product is lite and durable no toy here. easy to understand directions even for beginner. nice displays and audio alerts you to buried targets. depeth of target a little off even if you place coil flat on ground not a big deal. I think this product is well worth the money for what you get.

I received this as a Christmas gift. However when I discovered what my son paid for it, I returned it to the local sporting good chain store, and ordered the exact same product on Amazon for $70+ less!! I haven't been able to use it yet because of extra cold and snowy weather this year, but I'm looking forward to Spring. From all the research I've done, this should be a very good beginner level detector, and the price via Amazon was great.

Metal Superyard sits on carpet,tilee, hardwood floors. Rubber pads prevent scratching. Easy to setup, take down and store. May be used for pets

North States 3 in 1 Metal Superyard Reviews

I bought this for my daughter for her birthday, for her baby boy to play in a safer place while she could "get things done." As long as he can see her, he plays well. It is so sturdy that he uses it also for balance to walk from end to end, great practice for him. A plastic yard would never have worked.

This was the best product that I could find for the money. We purchased this product to prevent our son from accidental contact with our woodstove in the winter season. The gate has very sturdy metal construction yet it folds up quickly and carries relatively easily to set up in another location. In the warmer months the gate has been handy outdoors on our porch to allow play time outside with less hands on supervision. Once the gate sections are angled to allow it to support itself vertically it has been stable enough to resist the occasional pull or push without becoming unbalanced. I have not seen the gate fall over unless it was completely folded for storage. We usually secure the gate around the woodstove and it has not moved at all when fully secured even with our son pulling himself upright with it. We have really enjoyed the flexible panel systems ability to adapt to many different shaped enclosures. We can make a circular play yard or subdivide a small room. The portability and adaptability mean we use this gate quite bit. We have had the gate for several months (>8 months) now and we have had no problems with function or durability. The gate latch might take some getting used to but works well for us. Overall we have been very pleased with the North States 3 in 1 metal Superyard.

Worm Factory 360 Black Worm Composter Review

Worm Factory 360 Black Worm Composter

Composting with worms allows you to turn kitchen scraps, paper waste and cardboard into nutrient-rich soil for your plants. The Worm Factory 360 composting system takes the effort out of composting. With a thermo siphon air flow design, the Worm Factory 360 increases the composting speed. Air enters on all four sides of the base exposing the bottom to a free flow of fresh air. Compost creates heat and gases that rise through the system and exit out the 4 sides of the lid. By using worms and this thermo siphon design you can now produce compost much faster than traditional composting methods. Master Gardeners agree, worm castings are one of the richest forms of fertilizers available. The Worm Factory 360 can be used indoors or outdoors allowing year round production. Now composting is no longer limited to backyards.

The Worm Factory 360 is odorless making it great for apartments, kitchens, garages, porches and more. Unlike other composters the Worm Factory 360 is expandable by adding additional trays. This allows more compost capacity while still maintaining the smallest foot print. Use worms to recycle your waste, create quality compost and create a more sustainable lifestyle. Made in the USA with high quality food grade recycled plastics. How It Works: Simply add a handful of worms and your organic waste to the bottom tray. The worms will start processing the food. Once the bottom tray is filled with waste add another tray. The worms migrate upward to the newest food source leaving the bottom tray full of nutrient rich compost. As waste is broken down, moisture filters through the system, taking nutrient-rich particles with it. You can drain organic liquid fertilizer right from the spigot.

Worm Factory 360 Black Worm Composter Reviews

I was nervous about composting with worms, but have been amazed at how little time it takes. I've had the Worm Factory 360 for about 3 months now and haven't had any problem with bad smells. I have it on my very small screened in porch (lanai as we call it in Florida) and no one even notices it. I started with 1 lb of worms but might recommend 2 lbs if you have lots of food waste. I suppose I have an average amount for a two-person household and after three months, there are almost enough worms to keep up with our waste. I generally feed the worms once or twice a week and sometimes turn on the hose nozzle to the Mist setting to add moisture. I would guess that I spend 10 - 15 minutes per week. Of course the initial set-up took a bit longer and harvesting the castings from the bottom tray will also take a little more time.

A few weeks ago I made the decision to give vermicomposting a try. I live in an area that supports recycling, but we still have to take the items there. The rest of the trash costs us per weight, and ends up decomposing in a way that is not healthy. Why not reduce the trips to recycling, the money spent having someone else take away the rest of it, and end up with healthy compost for our plants? Hey, when it's January and you live in one of the coldest states, you start thinking about gardening so that you don't go all Jack Torrance.

I read a lot on the topic, including a lot of advice on making my own bin. However, DIY bins almost always involved work in getting your slimy friends to go to The Other Side of The Bin. I decided to make the investment and buy a stackable unit, because they're made and used in a way that the worms migrate up and leave the finished compost behind. I thought it was well-worth the money now for the convenience and the anticipated money saved.

Snow Joe 622U1 19-Inch 13-Amp Electric Snow Thrower Review

2010-02-21T07:33:00.000-08:00

Snow Joe 622U1 19-Inch 13-Amp Electric Snow Thrower

Responding to the need for an easy-to-use machine that could tackle heavier snowfall on large driveways and walkways, Snow Joe developed the Snow Joe Ultra 622 -- a larger electric snow thrower that delivers the power of a gas machine with the convenience of an electric unit. Driven by a 13 amp motor, the Snow Joe Ultra moves up to 800 pounds of snow per minute. Its durable, 4-blade, heavy-grade steel rotor cuts 19 inches wide and 11 inches deep with each pass, clearing up to 2150 square feet per hour.

In addition to its hard-working plowing capacity, the Snow Joe Ultra features an adjustable discharge chute that rotates a complete 180 degrees to provide full control over the snow discharge direction. The chute deflector can also be adjusted to control the height of the snow stream, and the easy-glide pivot wheels make the Snow Joe Ultra easy to turn and maneuver on each pass. The scraper blade at the base of the unit efficiently scrapes the snow clear to the pavement, making walkways and driveways much safer.

Like the Snow Joe 322, the Snow Joe Ultra 622 is powered electrically, so it's always effortless to start and maintain. No gas, oil, or tune-ups are necessary. The unit is ETL-approved and carries a full two-year warranty. For heavier snowfall on large driveways and walkways, the Snow Joe Ultra 622 is your smart solution this winter.

Snow Joe 622U1 19-Inch 13-Amp Electric Snow Thrower Reviews

As a mom of three, anything that makes my life easier is certainly a help and this snow machine certainly made it easy to clear snow off my 100 ft driveway and front walk. My husband also uses it too and was very happy about my purchase. He's the traditional shoveler kind, but when he saw me zip through the snow on the driveway, he just had to get a hand on it. I like that I can totally manage this machine on my own (even put it together myself in about 5 min) and that all it requires is an outdoor cord. I hang it on a hook in the garage and it takes up minimal space. I also like that I don't have to worry about draining gas out of it during the off-months.

For the price its a great value. I found it powerful enough to clear even that crusty gritty pile the snowplow leaves at the end of your driveway 15 minutes after you put the blower away. I can easily put it in the back of the wagon to do my mothers sidewalks. The best part is no gas smell, spills or mixing oil. I no longer smell like an oil refinery after blowing snow. Its way quiet too, I can blow snow at 2AM if I want and not disturb my neighbors. I really like the special start safety button cause stops the blade instantly if you mess up or hit something. I strongly suggest you use a blue cold flex cord with lighted plug...cause it really helps to know when the power is getting to the blower and the flex follows better. I will not blow snow with a gas blower ever again.

Garden Sun GS4400SS Floor Standing 44,000 BTU Propane Powered Patio Heater With Push Button Ignition, Stainless Steel Review

2010-02-19T00:48:00.000-08:00

Garden Sun Floor Standing 44,000 BTU Propane Powered Patio Heater With Push Button Ignition

This patio heater is absolutely gorgeous. It will be a great addition to your patio, so you can enjoy the outdoors in the winter. Comes with wheels attached to the base in order to move the heater to your desired location. CSA/ UL Approved Hose & Regulator. Fuel: Propane or Butane Gas.

Customer Reviews

We live in Minnesota where cool evenings are a regular occurence. I bought this Garden Sun GS4400SS before an outdoor poker game on my deck. It worked great. I didn't win the game, but I sold several heaters. It was easy to assemble, lights very easily, the wheels make it very portable, and it looks good too. This heater is allowing many more comfortable nights outside in the fresh air. I also appreciated the follow-up from Jack's Tool Shed. Your customer service was outstanding. My biggest regret was not ordering one sooner.

Great product. All stainless steel and works well. Cost less than an ugly one that Home Depot was selling. One thing to be aware of though - these things are real gas guzzlers so don't leave running when you don't actually need it. Also, it is very tall so, if you have a covered porch or patio, make sure there is enough clearance. Installation was not difficult but was time consuming - the protective paper on the stainless steel was very difficult to remove. Came the next day by Fedex even though I did not request or pay for next day service.

Electrolux EL6984A UltraSilencer Green Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review

2010-02-18T00:02:00.000-08:00

Electrolux EL6984A UltraSilencer Green Canister Vacuum Cleaner

This model is strong, silent and easier on the environment. The Electrolux ultra silencer has an high efficiency motor and only 60 DBA noise output. This canister is produced with 55-percent of plastic from recycled materials and 80-percent of the packaging is from recycled unbleached cardboard. Accessory tools are included for versatile cleaning.

Customer Reviews

I have a large apartment with old wooden floors that get a lot of dust and pet hair stuck between the boards. Electrolux EL6984A has enough suction to thoroughly clean them as well as my two low pile area rugs.
And it's SO QUIET, which is great when, like us, you live in a multi-unit building.
Probably not the best vacuum for a fully carpeted apartment because of it's lack of a rolling-bristle-brush; but I couldn't be happier!

Purchased this Electrolux EL6984A about a month ago and use it almost daily. I already had 4 canister vacuum cleaners of different brands because I use one each for the upstairs, downstairs, basement and garage, and one needed to be retired. Our entire house (including finished full basement) has either solid wood or tile floors - with a lot of Persian rugs everywhere. I do not own a vacuum cleaner with a power brush head because I do not want to beat and scratch the wood floors. This Electrolux was designed to be used on solid floors and area rugs. It is very quiet, significant suction, lots of features and the build quality is outstanding. It was made in Hungary. It is far the best vacuum I now own and will be buying another one or two. The old vacuums will be given away.

Vita-Mix 1700 Turbo Blend 4500 Countertop Blender with 2+ HP Motor Review

2010-02-17T01:12:00.001-08:00

Vita-Mix 1700 Turbo Blend 4500 Countertop Blender with 2+ HP Motor

It's not a blender - it's a Vita-Mix. The Vita-Mix TurboBlend 4500 is designed to render the full bioavailability of whole foods such as apples, strawberries, greens and more. This includes the leaves, peel, stem - where you find all the valuable fiber. The TurboBlend 4500 breaks down whole foods, releasing phytonutrients that help build the immune system, fight disease and improve overall health. The super-efficient 2-peak horsepower motor runs substantially cooler when mixing thicker ingredients like nut butters and frozen treats. It also processes fresh, whole foods in seconds to deliver superior taste and texture. The container is oversized, 64-ounce capacity made from Eastman Triton copolyester material that is virtually unbreakable, more chemical resistant and contains no BPA. Unit features a locking lid design for easy removal. A Healthy Lifestyle recipe book containing over 150 step-by-step recipes in full color in included. Vita-Mix 4500 is covered by a full 5-year warranty from the most trusted brand in high performance blending equipment.

Customer Reviews

I have tried juicing with juicers and had difficulty with processing some veggies ..... the Vita-Mix 1700 is great ... within minutes I have fresh OJ and it blends raw veggies like celery and ice cubes with ease. I do not know why I did not buy one sooner. I was kind of hesitant about spending $400 for a blender, but it is well worth the investment. I can finally juice easily and clean up is simple. Thank you Vitamix for such a quality product.

This Vita-Mix 1700 is the one we all thought we were buying years ago when we bought the name brand market blenders. My family uses this Vita-mix at least 3x daily for smoothies and raw foods. To date I have never heard it bog down, no matter what we put in it. One gets the feeling that the vita-mix could grind and blend pool balls without ever breaking a sweat. We also enjoy the tamping rod that comes with the unit. Plunging it through the opening in the lid, it is just the right length, so you never have to worry that you might hit the blades. Way recommended!

Krups FBC2 6-Slice Digital Convection Toaster Oven, Black Review

2010-02-16T00:37:00.000-08:00

Krups FBC2 6-Slice Digital Convection Toaster Oven, Black

Krups high-speed quartz heating system takes masterful control of heat in the chamber. Each set of quartz heating element, both top and bottom, is alternately powered at the full 1600 watts to maximize the effect of radiant heat. The heat distribution is aided by a special reflective crumb tray that directs this important form of heat to all corners for excellent results. Convection heat, important for longer baking times, circulates heated air around the food for the best result in the fastest time. The defrost function uses the convection fan only and gently and evenly defrosts food without producing hot spots. This 6-slice toaster oven has temperature controls in 25 degree increments from 150-450 degrees, a digital timer from 1 minute to 90 minutes and an auto shut off after elapsed time. For toasting, it has 9 levels or browning with a countdown timer. Illuminated LCD control panel with easy to use controls and high quality soft touch buttons, it has a digital clock that displays when the cooking functions are not in use. The non-stick interior surface is durable and easy to clean. This unit includes a non-stick bake pan, broiling tray and thermal resistant tongs for safe removal of hot pans or food and comes with a 1-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

First of all, Krups FBC2 looks great. Second, it is very easy to use - the controls are intuitive and simple. Third, it does a great job. This sleek oven is minimalist in design, uses fast and efficient halogen lamps, and does a wonderful job on toast and basic oven stuff, including convection cooking. I am not affiliated with anybody that would care about such a glowing review, I just love this thing. I've been looking a long time for a nicely designed, functional toaster oven - trust me, this is the one. Highly, highly recommended.

I had read the reviews about this Krups FBC2 and they are what convinced me to give it a try. For years I have purchased inexpensive Black and Decker toaster ovens but this time I was looking for something a little bigger. I don't use the microwave anymore due to concerns that it kills the nutrients in foods so I wanted something smaller to heat up my meals that wouldn't use the energy that my regular oven does. This little oven cooks just a little slower than a microwave when the convection option is used. It is amazing. I have had to adjust the temperature down so that it doesn't cook too fast, as a matter of fact! I really love it. The only minor negative for me is that it is big enough to accommodate a corning casserole dish but not high enough for the lid. To remedy this I just put a piece of aluminum foil over it instead. The oven is sleek looking and doesn't take up too much room on the counter top. So far it seems to be a well made oven. I'm very pleased with my choce.

Dimplex DFI2309 Electric Fireplace Insert Review

2010-02-15T04:30:00.000-08:00

Dimplex DFI2309 Electric Fireplace Insert

This Electric Fireplace Insert instantly brings your existing fireplace to life. It installs in minutes and plugs into any standard household outlet. You can turn the insert on or off with the included remote control from anywhere in the room. Insert size is 10.8" x 23.2" x 19.8" and weighs 34 lbs. The built-in heater distributes heat evenly and quietly.

Customer Reviews

We recently bought an 84 year old home with a VERY decrepit fireplace chimney. Dimplex DFI2309 had a gas free standing "looks like a real fire"stove that stuck out about three feet int6o the small front room. The fireplace it self is beautiful brick work so we did not want to tear it out. We tried various ways to make it utile and finally stumbled on the DIMPLEX. It is everything we were looking for. It fit perfectly and looks real. I mean it really looks like a fire is going. Plus it is a heater big enough to heat our little front room. it was easy to install and the delivery was VERY VERY fast! I am very impressed!

We have a beautiful stone Swedish fireplace in the living room that hasn't been used for years, in fact we used it to display artificial plants and flowers. I found this Dimplex DFI2309 on Amazon while searching encased units, so knowing Amazon'z return policy, I took a chance it would work in this situation. I am more than pleased with the unit and it fit perfectly inside the firebox. I can sit 90 degrees from the front of fireplace and it still looks very realistic. We had painted the firebox black years ago so you need to get within 4 or 5 feet to realize the unit is not part of the firebox.

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Special-Value 16-Inch Roaster with Nonstick Roasting Rack Review

2010-02-12T00:12:00.000-08:00

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Special-Value 16-Inch Roaster with Nonstick Roasting Rack

Want a roasting pan that works and is also beautiful? Well, this is that roasting pan! The Contemporary Stainless 16" roasting pan features tri-ply stainless construction with aluminum at its core for superior conductivity for perfect cooking results. The V-shaped roasting rack is easy to use and features a nonstick coating for easy cleanup. The beautiful and unique design is both functional and versatile. Plus, this makes the ultimate lasagna or casserole pan!

Customer Reviews

This pan is just the right size and weight for large roasts and turkeys. The clean up was easy and although it is dishwasher safe, per the use and care guide, I didn't find it necessary. I cook rib roasts using very high heat for 15 - 20 minutes depending on the number of ribs and then turn off the heat and let it set in the oven for a couple hours. The key to this working is even heat distribution and even loss of heat as the oven cools. It worked like a dream, no surprises. I have other Calphalon pots and pans and have been a fan for years - this is no exception - excellent!

I have roasted everything from vegetables to every kind of roast and poultry in this pan and it's the greatest. The handles are well placed - they don't take up space in the oven and they're very sturdy and easy to grip with oven mitts. I love that it's heavy enough to go right to the stove burner to deglaze or make gravy. It cleans up very easily - if you don't deglaze to make a sauce, simply put some hot water in the pan, turn up the burner and use a silicon spatula to "scrape" up the stuck on food. This pan performs like much more expensive models - I've used them all and this one is a great value.

Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster Review

2010-02-11T00:07:00.000-08:00

Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster

The Breville 2 Slice Smart Toaster has an internal smart chip that lowers bread into the toasting slots with a single touch and also regulates the toasting time. On the "a bit more" setting bread is automatically lowered for additional toasting time. The auto lift and look feature automatically raises the bread carriage during toasting without canceling or resetting the cycle. This enables you to view, and if necessary, cancel the browning cycle at any time. The LED panel illuminates according to the selected setting on the variable browning control. The display acts as a toasting progress indicator, counting down how long is left in the toasting cycle. The toaster beeps when the cycle is complete. Made of brushed die-cast metal the exterior wipes clean with a soft cloth. The heating element is 900 watts. Two wide slots accommodate waffles, bagels or toast. Defrost, reheat, bagel and cancel functions. Complete with a Breville assist plug for easy cord removal and cord wrap storage underneath.

Customer Reviews

I always thought a Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster was just a toaster & I have owned dozens of toasters & used many others over the years. But, this thing rocks. It is an amazingly well thought out piece of machinery. It is so simple to use & works like a charm. Instructions not required. Leave it to the Aussies for design ingenuity & functionality. I highly recommend this for a two slice pop up toaster. (There is a four slice model as well.) Great features. This is well worth the price & has better features, functionality & quality, imo, than other far more expensive chi chi toasters from yesteryear that are still on the market or any other toasters I have ever used. I never would have thought that there could actually be a cool factor to a common toaster. Rock on Breville! Superb product.

We've had this Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster for about two months now and are very happy with it. It's sturdy construction and good looks are a plus, aside from the fact that it makes great toast. The bagel and defrost features work well and our guests get a kick out of the "a bit more" button, which comes in handy at times. The plug is a unique design as well, makes it easy to plug and unplug when necessary. After seeing this toaster in action, we haven't thought twice about the price.

Hoover U5786900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

2010-02-10T03:57:00.000-08:00

Hoover U5786900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Equipped with patented WindTunnel technology, this bagless upright vacuum delivers powerful, deep-down cleaning performance. It uses three distinct air channels to lift and trap dirt, keeping it from scattering back into the carpet, so dirt ends up in the cleaner not on the floor. With red and green lights, its embedded DirtFinder system indicates areas that may need more cleaning attention. The green "clean" light remains on while vacuuming except when the detector senses a larger amount of dirt; then the red "dirty" light will illuminate to suggest additional vacuuming in the area until the light changes back to green. The unit also traps 99.97-percent of dust and pollens down to 0.3 microns in size thanks to its HEPA filter. Even more, it provides a deluxe stretch hose, a complete on-board tool set for above-floor cleaning, and a pet-hair tool with rotating brushes that effectively removes stubborn pet hair and dirt from upholstery and carpeted stairs. Other thoughtful details include non-marring wheels with bearings for lower push effort on carpet and safe use on bare floors, an ergonomic D-grip handle for added comfort and control, and a bottom-empty dirt container that helps keep hands clean. The unit also comes with fingertip on/off power control, five-position height adjustment, edge-cleaning bristles, and a no-touch filter-cleaning system for enhanced performance, as well as a headlight and a 31-foot power cord. The vacuum cleaner measures 13 by 15 by 45 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

I am a 74 year old "Granny" who, in my lifetime, has owned just about every brand of vacuum made,so I feel I am well qualified to judge this vacuum. I have been using an Oreck upright and a top of the line Kenmore cannister vac. As soon as I received the vac, I naturally had to try it out immediately. First, I tried in on a 20' long by 3' wide hall runner. I vacuum this runner almost daily as my two cats love to sleep on it. I was SHOCKED at what this vacuum got out of this runner. I had to empty it before I was halfway down the hall. The runner now looks like new. I had the same experience with all the other rugs and carpets in my home. I am truly impressed and actually feel like everything is clean. The vac is very easy to push (it feels like it is self-propelled). I couldn't be more pleased and highly recommend this vac.

This Hoover U5786900 has a well thought out design. The hoses are on the side so they don't get in the way. The wheels are rubber, so they don't scratch the wood floor. The canister with the filter has a wheel you can turn that causes it to rub against an agitator to make the heavy dust fall off. The bottom of the canister opens, so the dust falls out easily. I love the green light/red light to let me know how clean the floor is. The canister comes in and out easily also. The vacuum also works very well suction-wise. It is not self-propelled, but has so much suction that it seems to take off by itself! I looked at a lot of vacuums with goofy designs - this one is designed well and works great.

Vornado EH1-0032-28 TouchStone 500 Vortex Full-Room Electric Heater Review

2010-02-02T00:46:00.000-08:00

Vornado EH1-0032-28 TouchStone 500 Vortex Full-Room Electric Heater

The TouchStone Heater (TVH500) is new from Vornado! Our most premium heater, this room heater is constructed of steel and remains cool to the touch! The TVH 500 uses Vornado's signature vortex (tornado-like) circulation to quietly and evenly warm a room, from floor to ceiling in only minutes! Includes a remote control, easy-to-set timer and digital LCD screen to display current and set temp. Your family should feel safe with TouchStone's ¿ advanced Multi-Level Safety Protection, including a Tip Over Switch. Vornado Whole Room heaters use different technology than traditional space heaters. Vornado portable heaters use vortex action to effectively disburse heat evenly throughout the room, so you are surrounded in a blanket of warmth. A Vornado electric heater can warm the entire room in minutes! This is unlike most space heaters that heat the space directly in front of the heater leaving the rest of the room cold.

Customer Review

I bought the touchstone for my home office. It 'a decent space to heat, but I just wanted the space to heat rather than heating my house together. The Vornado does the job. Produces a good amount of heat fast enough. The room is pleasantly warm in minutes. Maybe about 10 minutes for a 10x12 room, with a maximum 8 '. The heater is fairly quiet, but I know there is not enough to disturb me while I'm working on. The remote display and digital are a bit 'useless. In retrospect I should have bought a unit that does not have these features, if I could save money. This unit is quite expensive. Works well, does the job, but is $ $ $.

We bought this radiator to the nursery for our son and it works fine. Its nest is warm but not too hot and the temperature is uniform throughout the room. Being able to set the room temperature is perfect for a nursery and more precise than the thermal power plant, which turns on / off depending on the temperature control in a corridor (which is often more hot / cold in my bedroom son). In addition, the vorando saves us money because we do not take the heat upstairs in the middle of all the rooms when we only need to heat in his room (the other bdrms are upstairs room).

Customer Reviews

Hoover has refined their bagged cannister vacuum, and this one tops an $800.00 competitor's I've given up on! The S3670 is a gorgeous lightweight powerhouse with a cord finally long enough to reach more than one room. The wand adjusts quickly and easily; ditto for the release from the Power Nozzle. I'm a petite gal and this vacuum follows me around like a pet poodle- no wrestling the hose to unkink it, either, because there's a 360 degree radius at the hose connection to the cannister. The motor is quieter than others I've owned, but doesn't sacrifice any power. I'm using a low setting for my carpets and am impressed with the results. Storage of the unit requires minimal space also. If this were a man, I'd marry it!

I don't know much or expect to learn much from vacuum, but I figured I'd pass my recent experience on...my cleaning lady had asked me to buy a canister vacuum so that she wouldn't have to lug hers up and down the stairs when she cleaned my place. She had told me to buy the Electrolux Oxygen, which in her opinion was great. After being turned off by the price and reading some of the reviews on-line for several hours, I decided to buy the Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Edition. I told the cleaning lady that I didn't get vacuum she wanted, but that I saved $200 and that I hoped that it worked out. In a delightful twist, after getting to use the new vacuum, she just called me to tell me she loves the vacuum and if I could order her one of these vacuums. That's worth 5 stars in my opinion.

Solvit 62320 Deluxe XL Telescoping Pet Ramp Review

2010-01-30T00:54:00.000-08:00

Solvit 62320 Deluxe XL Telescoping Pet Ramp

From the leader in pet ramps comes the Deluxe XL model. Three inches wider and 15inches longer than our best-selling Deluxe Ramp. The extra size provides a more gentle climbing angle and extra walking space to help reach those high places with confidence. Its combination aluminum + plastic construction make it best combination of size, strength and light weight on the market. A must for any dog trying to access the back of a pickup truck.

Customer Review

In general, this is a great ramp - strong enough (100 + lb dogs), easy to use transport and a length of Nice. A few cons: the thin layer of "sand paper" does not provide sufficient traction for the preference of my larger dogs' so I want to improve, it would be nice if the appearance had a kind of telescopic notch / lever system to lock the ramp in place in various extensions - the ramp slips off easily and I almost hurt my fingers a couple of times, it would be nice if there was some sort of attachment on top of the ramp to be used to provide on-site. I'm quite satisfied with the purchase and my dog seems to have adjusted easily to use it.

I love, I love this land. I bought my first flight for my two big dogs, aged about a year ago, but the big male not use it because it bounced. Now our big male is very lame and 102 pounds and will use this ramp Why is so strong and does not move and that it is easy to adjust. We ordered this through amazon.com and received a few days this ramp is perfect for our dogs.

DaVinci Emily Convertible Baby Crib Review

2010-01-29T00:47:00.000-08:00

DaVinci Emily Convertible Baby Crib

The Emily 4-in-1 Convertible Crib by Da Vinci is the complete sleeping system that grows with your child from crib to toddler to youth bed, making it the full solution for your child's sleeping needs. Stylish, elegant, yet very functional, this crib will accommodate your child from baby to toddler to youth. It features a static side with no moving parts! Built with thought for mothers to take their little ones out of the crib with little effort.

Customer Review

I spent hours online and in stores comparing cribs for my grandson. Was very hesitant to purchase something this big online, especially after reading some reviews about it coming damaged, but when I saw the price, and cheap shipping, I figured it was worth a try. I am so glad I did. The crib arrived in time, in perfect shape, packed very secure, with not a scratch. The directions were easy to follow, all the parts were included, and we had it up in about an hour. (Even for two old grandparents.) My daughter spent almost $ 500 on her crib, and I think this one is more sturdy and better looking. Have not had the chance to put our little guy in it yet, but so far I believe we will be very happy with it. I do plan on getting the round teether covers for the top rails, since I do not want him scratching it up with his teeth! Would recommend it to anyone, especially at this price.

This is one heavy, sturdy crib (read good thing). Got it with all pieces intact and no scratches, assembled in about an hour and was really pleased with the finished product. No squeaks at all and I obeyed the warning not to over tighten any of the screws. It's mid-priced, but worth every penny and the height adjustment is very secure with NO possibility of "slipping out". It has a real solid feel that Reflects its solid wood construction and baby sleeps like ... well ... a baby. Make sure to get a good mattress to go with it like one of the Sealy P'dics we got. Looking forward to the day when we turn it into a day bed, then kids in bed with the matching rails Which We also bought at the same time (they may not be available in a few years due to model changes) We expect this to last a really long time.

Customer Reviews

A teenage son, five large long-haired dogs, and a rural country home - these three things combined have been the cause of death for a couple of my vacuum cleaners. I bought a 6HP ShopVac about five years ago, and I doubt I'll ever vacuum or sweep again with anything but my ShopVac. I haul out my ShopVac and suck up everything that's not fastened down! Dirt and leaves, cobwebs (with spiders), dog hair and dust bunnies, candy wrappers, an occasional dirty sock (gotta watch out for that, these ShopVacs have great suction), and two or even a UFO (Unidentified Fallen Object). A house that's going to have a lot of pets, children or located in a rural area should be sold with a ShopVac as part of the escrow. Forget diamonds - ShopVac is a girl's best friend. Seriously, I highly recommend this unit.

I bought this after realizing the very expensive ($ 300 - $ 800) drywall vacuums use the same dust collection principle and have similar power (based on amp draw). I added a HEPA filter, drywall dust collection bag, and used inexpensive Hyde screen Sanders and the job was dust free. After the drywall project, so I cleaned up sawdust in my shop and vacuumed out the wood stove ashes while I was at it. Absolutely no dust escaped the bag and the inside of the vacuum was as clean as the day I received it. I am 100% satisfied and would recommend this product.

Anolon Professional 12-Piece Nonstick Hard-Anodized Cookware Set Review

2010-01-27T00:46:00.000-08:00

Anolon Professional 12-Piece Nonstick Hard-Anodized Cookware Set

You'll love being able to look through the tempered glass lids to monitor cooking progress. With non-stick cookware you choose how much additional fat or oil you'll add to your recipe. Heavy gauge anodized aluminum assures you a lifetime of impressive service. By purchasing a set you get this fine cookware at the best possible price and all the pieces you may ever need.

Customer Reviews

I have owned this series for 5 years and have nothing but good things to say! I use my daily hand washing pots and I for the most part, only because it is so hard to get them clean. I am only using bamboo or plastic ware on it, so scratch has never been a problem. The handles on the pots and lids get hot, so keep ovenmits at hand! The kitchen is fantastic! I can cook all day at the top and not burn anything! The size is really great especially if you have a large family is ready to cook. I have not tried the oven, because I have plates from the oven, but I know they are safe up to 500F that. I highly recommend this series, you will not be disappointed! :-)

I had a set of Anolon Professional cookware for 7 years, and I use them constantly. I like everything about them. They are a breeze to clean, and I've never had a problem with scratches. The glass lids are great. They are extremely durable and well made, and the nonstick surface has lasted without any problems. Are solid and a bit 'heavy, but not too heavy. I also have a set of all Clad cookware, and I like these, at least as much, if not more. They are the best deal around.

This set of pots and pans is impressive for those who love cooking, but do not want to deal with difficult to clean the dishes. The non-stick works like a charm and the pots are heavy and are available in large formats to be used for all cooking requirements (except for sautéing, where a stainless steel saute pan would probably be better). I hope to have them for a long time. Great deal on Amazon!

Jupiter Large Commercial Juice Press, Black Review

2010-01-26T00:35:00.000-08:00

Jupiter Large Commercial Juice Press, Black

Finally a commercial grade juicer for the home that will do as advertised, deliver a glass of fresh squeezed juice. This mid-size commercial juicer form OrangeX is as cool and refreshing as the juice it produces. Whether your fresh squeezed fancy is oranges, grapefruits, lemons or limes the OrangeX commercial juicer will make your morning a breeze. Made from cast iron and stainless steel with 2300 PSI (pounds per square inch) of force everyone in the family can have freshly squeezed juice at the drop of a lever. Removable parts are dishwasher safe.

Customer Reviews

I have owned this juicer for over 5 years and it works like a charm for the extraction of large quantities of lime juice, lemons and oranges. E 'heavy and robust, and the action of the lever runs right through the center of the juicer so no problem with tipping. Not much effort required to get the handle all the way down, which extracts all the juice. If you want to get every last drop, roll the fruit 1 / 4 turn and press again, but you get about 95% on the first squeeze. The only down side is that they are large, heavy and bulky. It would be better if you have counter space to leave out all the time. I do not think, so it gets probably less than it otherwise would as I use to pull out of the cupboard every time. It might work well in a garage unit too.

It could not be happier with this product. Squeeze the juice very efficiently and accurately. It 'a pretty heavy and serious looking for the device. I would say almost looks decorative on my kitchen counter. Suction cups at the base are a nice touch, because otherwise the whole thing could topple over while you're pushing down on an orange. It is fairly easy to clean as well. After cleaning the pulp out of the area pressed, make sure that the parts are snapped into place, otherwise you here a loud noise to break the next time you pull the lever.
Makes the orange juice and limeade terrifying. These are the only things I've tried so far. In general, we recommend this product.

Oneida Satin Garnet 65-Piece Flatware Set with Caddy, Service for 12 Review

2010-01-25T00:10:00.000-08:00

Oneida Satin Garnet 65-Piece Flatware Set with Caddy, Service for 12

Forged flatware features superb pattern definition, heavy gauge pieces with a sturdy feel, and in the case of this pattern, generous sizing. Garnet is a contemporary design that features both polished and frosted finishes, as well as an interesting sculpted treatment at the tip of each piece.

Customer Review

My husband and I just got married and we were looking for a nice, hefty 18/10 flatware set that would be suitable for both everyday use as well as when we would be entertaining. Upon doing an extensive search on the internet, I came upon Oneida's Satin Garnet collection. After reading all the product description and reviews, I was convinced we had found what we were looking for. So I placed the order in December 2004. They arrived about a week later and sure enough, we were absolutely delighted with our purchase. The pieces look wonderful and feel great in the hand...each feels very solid, quite substantial. After almost 3 months of usage, I still find myself admiring them! They do well in the dishwasher too, always coming out with a nice mirror shine. And the price here at Amazon.com can't be beat. I saw this same collection last weekend on sale at a department store for $150! All I can say is thanks Amazon for carrying such a great product at a terrific bargain!

Just to note: I couldn't tell by the picture on the web site, but the handles of each of the utensils is "frosted". (I would prefer unfrosted -- but the strengh of this stuff far outways that!) Also, there is a little round, ball design at the very end of each utensil. (Hard to explain!) For the knife, this design is on both sides of the handle (as is the "frosting"), but for the forks and spoons, the design is only on the one side, so the other side has sort of an indentation instead of the ball design. I was surprised to see it -- but am not bothered by it. Just wanted to mention it! Additionally, the back side of the forks and spoons are not frosted -- only the knives are frosted on both sides -- and I think that is customary with flatware. I am VERY PLEASED with this stuff and for the price, I cannot wait to use it! One thing is for sure: no one is going to bend any of this stuff-- I bet it is nearly impossible. Very substantial flatware.

Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill Review

2010-01-24T07:48:00.000-08:00

Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill

Big time grilling in a compact unit. The Patio Caddie is perfect for small decks, terraces and patios, yet it doesn't skimp on features. It has a rust-resistant porcelain body, heavy-gauge porcelainized cooking grid, heat gauge in the lid, thermostatic handles, and a stable, wobble-free base. The gas grill accommodates a 11 1/2 pound LP tank that is lighter and easy to handle or a 20 pound LP tank. What the gas Patio caddie gives you is perfectly seared, tender and juicy grilled foods, time after time, all year long.

Customer Review

This grill has provided outstanding service to us for over five years. It has not rusted out. It is stingy on gas, typically providing a full years use at three to five times per week on one five gallon tank. The company provides replacement parts so you can keep it working well. and it does a great job cooking your food. It is adequate for grilling enough meat for 4-6 persons. The heat is controllable allowing you to tailor your cooking to the items being grilled. It takes up very little space both in use and when being stored. In sum given it's size limitations it is probably the best grill we have purchased in the last forty years.

I recently bought this grill after evaluating my barbeque needs and my space constraints. First of all this is the only propane grill that has a circular shape as opposed to the much bigger and bulkier rectangular grills. As a result, this grill tucks neatly into my porch and looks very slick. The grill, although small has more than ample grilling space for grilling for 2-4 people. As a suggestion, make sure you keep the lid closed to generate enough heat to cook meat properly. My last suggestion is to purchase a full capacity tank (cost approx. $20) and use the one provided as a backup.

Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN Prep 11 Plus Food Processor Review

2010-01-23T00:47:00.000-08:00

Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN Prep 11 Plus Food Processor

Another of Cuisinart's "next generation" of food processors, this is not as large or quite as powerful as the 14 cup model, but it will perform the same functions and is more than adequate for most families' needs. The large feed tube means less pre-chopping and the dough blade and function ensure you get the perfect dough consistency. Like its bigger sibling it has a new stream-lined design and a longer warranty than the original 11 cup Cuisinart, but is compatible with any 11 cup specialty discs or blades you may already own.

Customer Reviews

When I saw this Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN processor turn a loaf of bread into perfect crumbs before I had time to blink, I knew I had met my dream machine. My affection only deepened when I introduced the slicing disk to a pound of mushrooms. With the touch of a button, the bowl was filled with garnish-quality slices. This machine has the power and the size to tackle most any chore. Making dinner is a delight now that the Cuisinart does my slicing and chopping for me. I am much more likely to use fresh ingredients as a result. In fact, I often find myself planning meals around fun new uses for the food processor. I believe that anyone who cooks often would benefit from this product.

I bought this Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN (in white) a week ago, and I have used it every day since then. I just love it. The machine works so effortless, quick, and elegant. It's such a joy to use it. The blade is super sharp and chops and blends everything very nicely. The two discs that come with it are heavy duty quality and work great. I love the extra large feeding tube. I haven't used the dough blade, so I can't say anything about that. Besides making food preparation fun, the machine also looks very nice and doesn't take up a lot of counter space. All the parts clean up quickly under warm running water. I am so pleased with this machine. I went to the store with the firm resolution to buy the Kitchenaid food processor, but I changed my mind when I compared it to the Cuisinart. I think this machine will serve me well in the years to come.

Fagor 3-in-1 Electric Multi-Cooker; pressure cooker, slow cooker and rice cooker Review

2010-01-22T00:42:00.000-08:00

Fagor 3-in-1 Electric Multi-Cooker; pressure cooker, slow cooker and rice cooker

Fagor’s 6 qt. Electric Multi-Cooker is a pressure cooker, a slow cooker and a rice cooker in one. It also features a brown and a warm function for a truly one-pot-cooking, and a six quart removable cooking pot that is dishwasher safe and nonstick coated for easy cleanup.

Customer Reviews

I purchased this to replace five slow cookers (Yes, I really had five), a rice cooker, and a Nesco roaster. When it arrived, I ran a water test which worked perfectly. The cooker heats quickly and then cooks on pressure and beeps when done. If not turned off, it goes to a warm cycle to hold the dish until you are ready. The next dish I tried was rice on the rice cycle. It is set for white rice and I was cooking brown rice so I just repeated the cycle twice after the first cycle. The rice turned out perfectly in 18 minutes. The removable pan is easy to clean since it is Teflon. I then put in the ingredients for black beans and set the timer for 27 minutes on the high pressure cycle. I punched start and walked away. The beans were done, tender and delicious! It used to take me 12 hours to cook beans in the crock pot! There is a brown cycle which heats up fast and can be used for sauteing items. I made a Mexican chicken soup and sauteed the onions and celery, threw in cubed raw chicken breast and browned, then added the rest of the ingredients for the soup except for the avocado which I added after the soup was done and cooked it on high pressure for 8 minutes. It sure didn't take me long to cook lunch that day! There is also a low pressure cycle for vegetables which I haven't tried yet. I can see that I am going to get lots of use out of this cooker. I think it is wonderful!

CatGenie 120 Self-Washing Self-Flushing Cat Box Review

2010-01-21T00:45:00.000-08:00

CatGenie 120 Self-Washing Self-Flushing Cat Box

The Worlds Only Self-Flushing, Self-Washing Cat Box. With CatGenie 120, you’ll never touch litter again. It automatically flushes all cat waste out of the home then washes itself completely clean. The new 120 SaniSolution Cartridge is biodegradable and recyclable (unlike cat litter which is neither). Holds 120 washes and when set on Cat Activation provides 240 washes (and one Cartridge is smaller and uses less plastic than the lid of one plastic litter jug). IMPORTANT NOTE: The 120 Cartridge only works in the CatGenie 120 Model. The 120 Cartridge (clear) will NOT work in the original CatGenie, which only uses the 60 Cartridge (green) The 60 Cartridge will NOT work in the CatGenie 120.

Customer Reviews

I didnt think my cats would use CatGenie 120, they are picky, but they did. I left the old box in the laundry room next to the catgenie for 2 days. I didnt scoop the old box and they just started using the catgenie and I got rid of the old box. They have used it ever since. I have 2 cats and have it set to clean twice a day. It doesnt stink in the laundry room at all. It is a little noisy when cleaning but not any more noisy than a washing machine. I wish I would have bought one of these sooner. I will never have another litter box. I recommend this to anyone who hates cleaning litter boxes because it does work. It comes with everything you need to hook it up to the water supply in the bathroom or the laundry room. And all the cords and tubes are extra long so there is no problem fitting them where you want them to go.

CatGenie 120 has worked great. I had a little leak in the back where the watter hose connects but that was easily fixed be tightening it more. Just make sure it's really tight before you use it the first time and you won't have this problem. As stated in other reviews the sanitizer does smell when it's drying but it goes away in about an hour.
If you hate cleaning cat litter and the smell that goes along with having a litter box then get this. It's well worth it.

I just bought this vacuum from Bed Bath and Beyond, with their 20% discount coupon. It 'wonderful for the price. This emptiness is not everything they say it does business, if you've seen the infomercial. I love it. It 'easy to use, gets a deep clean. I do not have a pet, and even if it is advertising for a pet, I have a problem with fuzzies from socks, dryer and other clothes. I can not stand on my carpet fuzzies. My last 2 voids were not able to collect from the ground, even when I went over them several times. With this vacuum, which was the first time, and quickly.

I like this vacuum, the only problem I have is the color lavender, you get to be quite comfortable with my masculinity to use it.

Customer Review

It is best to make sure you have space on the kitchen counter for this. E 'standard height, but long and deep. It's got space to cook a turkey on Thanksgiving Day. It 'a lot of features that will meet the best cook including defrost impulse that will be completely thaw the food, but not cooking. Pay attention to this unit is very powerful and cook and / or heat the food in half the time with the use of a less powerful unit. Moreover, it heats evenly. N. centers colder edges while warm. Because it heats food quickly, retains moisture within the food and not dry out. I only had for 2 months, so I can not speak for reliability yet, but it is a Panasonic and I do not expect any problems. If you have the room, buy this one!

After yet another microwave broke upon us, I decided to do some research and find the microwave with the best ratings, which will hopefully last a bit '. I started looking for a microwave oven small (<1 cubic foot), but this seemed a microwave very good and was one of the best rated. I ordered and when I got the mail was smaller than I expected cubic meters and watt had. E 'was easy to configure and understand how to use the extra features. So far I have had no problem with it. The sensor works well enough, I experimented with many types of food and does a good job of heating at the right temperature.

Customer Reviews

Grande prodotto. Si può veramente sentire (e respirare) la differenza in aria quando si attiva su questo in una stanza chiusa, anche se lo uso con la porta aperta, anche. Per le allergie e asma, con il suo sistema di filtro HEPA (medici ho parlato di raccomandare HEPA come il migliore sistema di filtrazione per questi problemi), ha fatto una grande differenza per me. Ho avuto un vecchio modello che ha fatto uno più forte, il rumore più severe. Anche in alto, il suono di questo modello è ancora abbastanza equilibrata in modo che lo fa, come altri hanno commentato, crea un piacevole effetto di rumore bianco. Si noti che è abbastanza grande e pesante, in modo che si spostano in giro da una stanza all'altra non è impossibile, ma un po 'di fastidio. Non ho ancora dovuto pulire / sostituire i filtri, dal momento che è ancora nuovo. Ma mi piace che ci sia un indicatore filtro l'unità in modo non devo ricordare quando farlo.

Questa unità è tranquillo durante l'esecuzione concernente la fissazione basso; alto è piuttosto alto. Anche se non è un modello di fascia alta che fa il lavoro che è dovuto. Quando ho rimosso il pre-filtro non vi era più capelli su di esso che il mio gatto e un sacco di polvere. Recentemente ho avuto una cucina molto smokey da fuoco una padella e ha contribuito con la stanza di compensazione. Mi piace questa unità molto. It's low-tech e molto portabile. Mi chiedo solo se l'unità di plastica emana gas, ma è troppo tardi per preoccuparsi che ora perché ho già la possiede.

Customer Reviews

My husband and I were looking for a non-stick together, but robust, with see-through lids. We got some certficates gift for our wedding, we had to use. These are wonderful so far. I used to own a series Caphalon, much more $, and I can already tell these are far superior. Handles, lid, everything is sturdy. I hate to hand wash, but these are so simple - the food just falls out, and nothing sticks everywhere. We are very happy so far, and will report later. I saw these at Kohl's for about $ 80 more (sold!). They make cooking a joy, and clean-up easy. Glad I bought them!

I was given a set of stainless steel cookware for Christmas last year, but returned and bought this instead and enjoyed cooking with the pots during the past year. Like someone who is easily distracted and is self taught in the arts of cooking, nonstick cookware that I could go straight from stove to oven and cook it evenly. My other requirements were silicone handles and glass lids. I absolutely love this pot and cook with them almost every day. Cook the eggs are large and are so easy to wipe clean after use. My in-laws bought pots titanium (about 1,000 dollars) and worth every penny. But, my mother-in-law waited 30 years. to spend so much and after using my set, told me that my pans are the best (and this Kitchenaid set is very convenient). I recommend to everyone I know. If you are contemplating the set of 10 pieces, I say spend the extra and get this series, because the QT 5. covered saute pan is my most prized, and the QT 8. prevent relapse pot boil the pasta. Definitely worth the money and then some. Great cookware!

PetSafe PIF-300-11 Wireless Pet Containment System Review

2010-01-13T00:59:00.000-08:00

PetSafe PIF-300-11 Wireless Pet Containment System

The PetSafe Wireless Fence pet containment system is a revolutionary concept that provides the safest, simplest form of pet containment ever. Plug in the transmitter somewhere inconspicuous in your home. The transmitter emits a 17.5 kHz radio signal around your home. Your pet wears a lightweight receiver collar that "listens" for the signal. While the collar is receiving the signal, your dog is free to run and play in your yard. When he approaches the boundary of the signal area, he receives a warning beep. If your dog does not return, he receives a static correction which is startling but not harmful. With a little simple training, your dog will quickly learn his boundaries. The training of your pet is a key element with the PetSafe Wireless Fence. Follow the easy instruction and training manual that is included.

Customer Reviews

After much research, we are very happy that we chose this product over the traditional in-ground fencing! Without bothering to remove any thread when we aerate the lawn or do our landscape ... It 'very flexible, affordable solution and it works great for our very feisty 2-year-old Schnauzer mix. We keep the collar to the lowest setting adjustments and to tell the truth, then that probably does not need the correction - just heard the audible warning is enough for him. He turns around and quickly approaching the house when she hears the beep. It took only one or two days for him to understand its boundaries. At first it was a little 'afraid to go out to everyone, but in less than a week was happily playing outside the area, "pet" of the yard. Only drawback of this product is that there is no place "safe harbor" where you can leave the area moved from the company. (So we just take the receiver collar off and put on our dog's collar regularly when you want to take him out of the yard for a walk on a leash.) Highly recommend this product.

I have done much research on this product after it was recommended to me. We are just thrilled by how easy it was. I have two young terrier that would bolt out of the yard happily chasing squirrels, neighbors, etc. We have a great game and a part of it is forested. We did not want to bury a wire. Although we did not want to worry about what brings the dogs were left outside. In two days, the dogs understood the fencing. I tested the shock on me with the lowest setting to make sure that it would not hurt my dogs, and it was not painful ... just a feeling uncomfortable. So far, my only complaint is that occasionally, when they are off the collars of the dogs and hung in the house, which emits a beep on their own. This scares the dogs, understandably! I highly recommend this containment system. Gave my dogs freedom to run and play. It 'a really great product.

Petsafe PDT00-10603 Yard-and-Park Remote Trainer Review

2010-01-12T00:52:00.000-08:00

Petsafe PDT00-10603 Yard-and-Park Remote Trainer

The Yard and Park Trainer assists you in controlling your pet without a leash up to 400 yards. The unit can expand to 3 dogs with additional receiver purchases. The receiver is waterproof and adjustable to fit most dogs. The training manual shows hot to properly use the Yard and Part Trainer to make training fun. The Trainer can be used to deter unwanted behavior such as chewing on furniture, jumping on guests or digging. It can also we used for basic obedience training.

Customer Reviews

I'm using this for about a year. Like the other reviewer, my dog is also on a fence radio in the house. I was worried that this collar would be confusing. I think at first it was, but after 2 days of training, my Rocco would come on command. For the most part, now I just need to send him a note of correction if he does not come and he responds to that. I very rarely need to send the correction Zap.
Fences make great products and have at their side. It 'important to read all the guidelines for training to make sure you use it correctly.

I bought a PDBDT Fences-305 for my Golden Retriever mix. After about 8 months of use, it was nothing but a battery eater! We have researched the internet a better unit. We bought this and could not be happier with him! The tone is strong enough that we feel, so you do not have to guess if they actually beeped. We have it set to "1" and seems to be enough to get his attention. Others have spoken of how large it is, but in reality is not so bad. The collar is more than sufficient length to fit any size neck. We will have to cut a lot '. The remote is great! It is more ergonomic, the line does not move so easy that you accidentally set to another number, like our previous Safe Pet Trainer. The buttons are easier to press and location. The strap is nice, too! It 'nice to have a rechargeable unit! It will save us money in the long term. So far it worked at all, as indicated. The range of a lot better than our previous unit, too! After the search of price, Amazon had the best price. We received more quickly than expected. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone! Fences PDT00-10,603 400 Yard and Park Remote Trainer

iRobot 530 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, White Review

2010-01-11T01:37:00.000-08:00

iRobot 530 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, White

Cleans routinely so you don't have to. 500 Series robots offer the latest innovations from iRobot with unprecedented efficiency, coverage, and cleaning performance.

Customer Reviews

I do not really want a Roomba, but my inner techie has done, and so we ordered one. Within a few weeks and a couple of cleaning, Roomba has been transformed from "want" to "need." It's cute, it's high-tech, it's fun to see (better than 90% of what on TV), and it works. We live in the desert, which in some seasons the layers of our floors, our furniture, and ourselves with dust, some of them incredibly well. And we have a labrador, who gives generously large amounts of hair wherever he goes. Some of his hair is no doubt the space station. And we have tiled floors, with a couple of Oriental rugs and various Zapotec rugs. Roomba shine the floors, removing dust spots, I swear, a broom, which negotiates with the fringe on the oriental aplomb. It has difficulty with the launch carpets - are too light, so that tends to move rather than creep up on them. Po 'tape or velcro probably solve the problem. We bought the 630 - with invisible walls, but no lights and no planning - because we do not need to clean floors throughout the house in a session, and we are at home most of the time and do not need to schedule cleaning while we are away . Roomba collects dog hair very well, took our vacuum cleaner dust in places you can not reach easily, and tells you when a problem (often not) and what to do about it. It also says that when it needs cleaning and what to clean. It may have a "plan", as the robots on Battlestar Gallactica, but I'm convinced it's for my own good.

Soleus Air CFM-40 E 40-Pint Dehumidifier with Humidistat Review

2010-01-09T00:41:00.000-08:00

Soleus Air CFM-40 E 40-Pint Dehumidifier with Humidistat

The first portable dehumidifier on the market, weighing less than half that of other models. It has built-in wheels and a carrying handle, allowing it to be transported with little effort. With 40 pint large capacity front removable water bucket.

Customer Reviews

We are using this in a house of 840 sq ft mildrew to keep at bay during the rainy season. And the great works. 40 pints refers to the amount of moisture that is pulled off the air, not the size of the tank. The fan creates a little 'flow of air that can cause some chill "wind", but the movement of air in all, a good thing. When locked in the bathroom during the night, so does a great job of drying laundry by hand! I am very pleased to have purchased the product.

My apartment had a problem with moisture, and every time it rained, my apartment looked wet, and every time someone showers, towels stayed wet for days. Soon, our cupboards were damp and we had to throw away many valuable objects that could not be saved. I bought this dehumidifier in the month of January, and our apartment was blissfully dry since. We leave it running all the time to dry up, and we dump buckets of water every day. It works very well, and sucks all the moisture in the air, making our apartment a lot more warm and livable. It 'also very quiet, not as strong as an air conditioner, as I thought it would. I almost did not notice while he is making hmm. I highly recommend this dehumidifier!

Hoover U6485900 Windtunnel Anniversary Self-Propelled Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

2010-01-08T00:01:00.000-08:00

Hoover U6485900 Windtunnel Anniversary Self-Propelled Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Equipped with patented WindTunnel technology, this bagged upright vacuum delivers powerful, deep-down cleaning performance. The self-propelled unit offers nearly effortless maneuverability in both forward and reverse, while three distinct air channels lift and trap dirt, keeping it from scattering back into the carpet, so dirt ends up in the cleaner not on the floor. With red and green lights, its embedded DirtFinder system indicates areas that may need more cleaning attention. The green "clean" light remains on while vacuuming except when the detector senses a larger amount of dirt; then the red "dirty" light will illuminate to suggest additional vacuuming in the area until the light changes back to green. The unit also traps 99.97-percent of dust and pollens down to 0.3 microns in size thanks to its HEPA media bag. Even more, it provides a deluxe stretch hose, a complete on-board tool set for above-floor cleaning, and a pet-hair tool with rotating brushes that effectively removes stubborn pet hair and dirt from upholstery and carpeted stairs. Other thoughtful details include non-marring wheels with bearings for lower push effort on carpet and safe use on bare floors, custom cleaning controls for moving from carpet to bare floors with ease, and an ergonomic D-grip handle for added comfort and control. The cleaner also comes with fingertip on/off power control, five-position height adjustment, edge-cleaning bristles, a headlight, and a 31-foot power cord. The vacuum cleaner measures 13 by 15 by 43 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

I replaced my 24 year old with this Hoover U6485-900 model wind tunnel. Although my old Hoover was great and did not give me no problem, it was not to collect cat hair, as they used to. Because my allergies have worsened recently, I decided to buy a new vacuum. I am amazed how this wind tunnel is powerful! Not only clean more thoroughly than my old model, is quieter and easier to maneuver, too. It 'was a breeze to assemble right out of the window and is a beautiful blue metallic. The lighthouse is a welcome addition and with the right tools at my fingertips saves me time and effort! But the best part is that the use of this vacuum does not trigger the allergy. I could not be happier with my purchase.

Purchased this vacuum to replace two Dirt Devils who seemed to be always in the repair shop. So, after having the repair shop, I saw this vacuum for sale. The repairman said that this vacuum is an excellent model. I was in doubt as he is a businessman. But, he did have honey, Rainbow, Dyson, and all other common models to the floor, but recommended that it was priced at $ 169 - much lower than other more! So, I brought home a specimen of 3 days and I am very satisfied! We have three children under the age of 8, then the amount of food thrown, documents, etc on our carpet is amazing. And, the green carpet, large main room is dark (to be changed at some point in the near future) and our carpet MBR is a light cream color. So, all that shows on the carpet and looks terrible. Hoover pulled this all with a single blow! I continued to empty as I was curious to see if the red "dirt detector" light would never go green. Neither did it after many, many spaces on the carpet. So, not sure if my carpet is really ugly, or the light is unreliable. In both cases, the carpet looks great. It works great on upholstery, stairs (w / the tube) and most everything else. Not so good bare floors, but most posts can not handle that anyway. I looked Dyson and I just could not pay $ 500 for a vacuum. I have no regrets!

Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain Review

2010-01-07T00:26:00.000-08:00

Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain

The Breville Juice Fountain Compact has a patented 3 inch centered feed tube which juices whole fruit without cutting. The easy clean central pulp container juices 1.5 quarts before it needs to be emptied. With a 750 watt motor it has a heavy duty performance. It also has a unique Cyclonic Juicing System which operates at 14,000 RPM to maximize extraction.

Customer Reviews

This juicer rocks!
Used for two weeks, it works better than advertised.
Solid piece of engineering, strong long lasting part, excellent quality.
Best features are its simplicity and ease of cleaning.
Although the name "Compact" the unit is quite large.
700 HP engine is powerful and not too strong. Container pulp capacity is decent. Do not expect whole apple juice, unless you use very small apples.
The extract of dough is rather dry so you are getting almost all fruit juices and vegetables with this unit.
Nothing better than fresh fruit juice and this juicer makes the whole experience a breeze.
Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for easy to maintain good long-term juicer.

The Juce least once a day, while I was eating primarily raw foods.
My Jack juicer Lalan finally worn after 2.5 years of daily use. I was tempted to buy another - but I liked the way everything including the pulp catcher is all in one unit. So glad I got the Breville.
This thing is powerful, especially compared to the "Jack LaLanne. It 'so powerful that usually do not even have to use the pusher except to cover the top so that the ceiling is not covered with stuff. Other reviewers have said the trend. What was not mentioned is that the reason he does is because the engine is so muscular that stuff will shoot upward.
When juicing soft stuff I immediately cover the top with his hand.
The design of this thing is absolutely first rate. Even to the plug, which has a loop formed in a way that is easy to unplug and plug-in! No instrument is necessary to remove the basket, as in most other juicer. Breville uses a combination of ingenious design and magnets to hold it in place!
Ease of use and finish is perfect.
Clean up is really an operation of 2 minutes and I did not even own a dishwasher. Not stain the end, like any juicer I have ever owned does. Carrot juice would make a great color :-)
The flesh of this juicer is a little 'wetter than Jack LaLanne. The "Jack" was a much larger basket and a rotation much slower. I believe it can be for it. But it is very humid - just slightly.
This juicer makes it much smaller pieces of dough even if - and my experience thus far has been to become as much juice from a pound of carrots.

KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixers Review

2010-01-06T00:08:00.000-08:00

KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixers

The Professional 600 TM has a powerful motor that is crafted for commercial-style performance, the direct drive, all-steel gear transmission delivers unyielding power for professional results. The mixer can effectively mix up to 14 cups of all-purpose flour per recipe and produce up to 8 pounds of mashed potatoes. The Soft Start mixing feature helps minimize ingredient splatter and flour puff with gentle acceleration to selected speed after start-up. Electronic Speed Sensor monitors operation to maintain precise mixer speed. Commercial-style motor protection automatically shuts off the mixer when overload is sensed to protect the motor. Durable all-steel gears provide reliable service. The mixer includes a 6-quart-capacity stainless-steel mixing bowl with a contoured handle, as well as a professional wire whip, a burnished flat beater, a spiral dough hook, and a one piece pouring shield. Its multipurpose attachment hub with a hinged hub cover flips open to allow for easy installation of attachments. The Professional 600 Series bowl-lift design raises the bowl into the mixing position, and its solid, truly seamless one-piece motor head design is easy to clean and comes in a variety of fashionable colors.

Customer Reviews

Due to the large number of complaints about people who have problems have been with heavy tasks (which is what the mixer should have been made for '!) Because of the cheap plastic housing holding the heavy duty metal gears, I contact KitchenAid to find out if this design flaw has been fixed. E 'state, and here is their response (note that they are saying that if you receive one of the models with the plastic cover that will replace it under warranty with the new metal housing. It' also important to note that people who have had the problem have almost all stated that KitchenAid had great customer service and replaced their mixers, without those without problems.

Let me assure that our engineering and product teams have addressed the issue gearbox. In fact, we have already implemented a change in the production of the 600 Pro Stand Mixer with a metal gear box. Although these will be modified on other 5 qt bowl-lift models that include all metal gearing, the time line on this is not known at this time. Although a transparent change, this will ensure the long-term conservation we expect.

Let me stress to you that you should purchase a Stand Mixer (with all metal gearing) which has not been assembled with metal gear box upgrade, and you should have a problem with the mixer (after the plastic gear box (failure ), there will almost certainly extend the warranty to resolve the issue properly and effectively.

5115 BTU, Traditional Style Compact Electric Flame Effect Stove, Thermostatically Controlled 1500W Electric Heater, Provides Realistic Looking Flame Without The Inconvenience & Cost Associated With Wood & Gas Burning Equivalents, 13" x 20.3" x 23.5".

Customer Reviews

This is certainly not the least expensive brand of this type of stove, but the quality of the product is well worth the price. We bought primarily to provide some 'additional heat to a cold kitchen in a house that is WAY "north." Make sure what we hoped, but still can not understand how the flames look so realistic. Anyone who has seen the same reaction - "This is an electric heater and how they do it?" If you splurge on this stove, you will not regret!

I am a lover of real wood fireplaces, but I have a gas fireplace that came with the new house I purchased. My family room is located in the basement and 'always very cold, especially in winter. I bought this thinking it would look a little 'fake, but it can help take away the cold and to my surprise, my room heats up in large family (ten foot ceilings) and are floored that this cute little stove heats the whole the room! I must say with all honesty, the flames look real and are pretty demanding! I made a lot of research before making this purchase, looked at different vendors and manufacturers felt this was the best and this product was highly rated. I really like and I think you will too.

Customer Reviews

When I received my Zojirushi NS-TGC10 5-1/2-cup Micom Rice Cooker and warmer Stainles steel was like night and day between Zoujirushi and my old cooker rice. The rice comes out in a uniform manner, every single time. I eat rice almost every day and every time it turns out the same. I have not had time to cook brown rice, but sometimes I'll try soon. Costs more than I wanted, but you get what you pay, and worth every penny. I got my rice cooker to last almost ten years and I know that my Zoujirushi will last so easily.

It 'easy to use, easy to clean and easy on the eyes. I never had time to sit and watch or stir my food. I wanted a simple way to cook rice. Set for the desired time and eat when it's done. Works great for oatmeal with just a little 'experiment with the kind of oatmeal is about to be eaten. I do not bother with the stoves more convenient because the rice cooker appliances tend to be just that. I am not rich, but I did not choose to skimp on this, such as rice may be enough problems for those of us who do not have the ability.

Great works. Nice marks for water for several Risi. Musical tone is a little annoying, but my dogs love it so I have not changed the tone alternative (who woulda guessed?). He feared that would manage rice properly, but does so very well. After losing a pot of rice in a move, we bought a good off-brand model. It produced rice, but consistency was not good and it tends to produce a piece inlaid at the bottom, sometimes the addition of a taste for rice. It would be good for the Persian-style rice, but it was not what we wanted. Finally ditched that one and we are very satisfied with the rice it produces. Also, good texture, right.

Customer Reviews

I was awkward, stumbling, bumbling along and trying to get the "right" combination of MR HEATER for me to use their BIG BUDDY product. I strongly suggest that you decide on which heater you want, then go to www.mrheater.com and pull the webpage for heating. Find the FAQ section for this warming. Read through the "problems" very closely. You will find there are good reasons for these problems occur. MR HEATER explains and provides solutions to these problems in the FAQ. One thing, in my humble opinion, is not found in the description ~ If using more than 20 lb tanks, you may need a "regulator" to control the pressure from the tank to heating or other small appliances. Check with MR HEATER Support prior to incurring problems. Be patient and be very clear about your setup. Everyone I contacted was very helpful and responsive to my questions. MR HEATER also provides information on the security situation to remember with a possible solution on what to do with the replacement of a faulty heater.

My best friend advised me to buy this heater for use when I go back to my Beagles cleaning after arriving from a hunting trip. I have a 10 foot by 10 foot cabin with water and a hose and after washing them off the heater makes it easier to keep them warm while I wipe them off. It also takes me to this hot and dirty work as nice as can be. I like dogs because their position before the heat waiting to get dry. The fan helps to move the heat around and I'm sweating by the time I get to the dog last year so I turn down to medium setting. My dogs and I like this stove.

Cuisinart CVR-1000 Vertical Countertop Rotisserie with Touchpad Controls Review

2009-12-28T00:43:00.000-08:00

Cuisinart CVR-1000 Vertical Countertop Rotisserie with Touchpad Controls

The Cuisinart Vertical Rotisserie seals in nutritious juices and drains away unwanted fat for healthier meals. To keep the temperature consistent, removable chrome insert reflects heat as the rotisserie turns, and a 3-hour countdown timer with auto-shut-off ensures perfect timing. Cuisinart includes accessories to cook poultry, fish, vegetables, roasts and shish kebabs, as well as a recipe book with even more options.

Customer Reviews

I bought this rotisserie about six months ago and love using it. I wish he would come with a retractable cable for better preservation, but that is a minor inconvenience. I own several other Cuisinart products and that was the main reason why I chose to buy this rotisserie. I was impressed with all my other Cuisinart products and are eager to buy more products from them. Rotisserie that is easy to use, easy to clean, easy to mount, the cost is reasonable, and has an attractive look, but trade with it. For the person who has limited cooking skills I would recommend this product.

Only the second product that I wrote a review, but I am quite impressed after having a couple of weeks now. Works as described and produces succulent roasts and poultry. An added plus is the clean-up, which is effortless. Parties who removed for cleaning to get clean in a few minutes and the nonstick interior is a breeze. The instruction / recipe book could have a kitchen table, in addition to recipes. This is my only complaint. One more point, for a large family may not have sufficient capacity.

The possibilities are endless with this larger machine, allowing you to create bigger die cuts for classroom decor, scrapbook layouts, signage, and so much more

Customer Reviews

Cricut Expression is a fantastic tool to have. As a kindergarten teacher, I make a lot of cutting. E 'was great not having to cut 20 of everything by hand. This machine is very easy to use and fast. I used the original pad several times and is still working fine. As with everything there is a cost of use. The end my cutting mat should be replaced. But, it's a small price to pay for the time I'm saving. As I said, is a fantastic tool. I wish I had received earlier.

Any Quilter looking for a way to reduce those forms hard wall, or multiples of a form - the heart for example - and they all turn the same needs the Cricut Expression. Cutting the material it needs a few adjustments - relationship fuses to make the material stiff enough to resist the lateral pressure of the blade and keep it from pulling the material side, and the pressure of the blade strengthened to ensure that the blade cuts all the way through the material - but the results are fantastic. You can cut very intricate parts in a wide range of formats, and is adding a whole new dimension to my experience quilting. I recommend the toolkit, since the smaller pieces or can be a bit more complicated 'delicate cut from the pad to remove without the right tools, but my quilting friends are all talking about investing in its machines, Now that we know what we can do. Also, make sure you read the manual before use, not just the quick start guide - without the instruction manual that would be much easier to correctly install the cutting blade and end with the problems I have read from others who complained about the machine will not cut properly. Just 10 minutes of reading to make sure everything is set correctly, and you can enjoy a life of creative play with this machine.

OMG these are the best shoes I ever bought! are so warm and comfortable .. i can not explain in words how are fantastic! I just wish I skipped the ugg "ly bandwagon started last year! I got the chocolate, especially because i know that sand can stain easier and I personally prefer the dark shoes. I am so happy with my purchase, I suspect that can be found Some family members a couple on vacation! I agree to order a smaller size, I was hesitant because i have big feet (10), but the 9 fits like a glove.

I fell in love with my Uggs the moment I slip on my foot for the first time. They are wonderfully comfortable and very warm. No, the feet do not sweat in hot weather, I promise. Most comfortable fit shoe of my life. I take them at least 6 days a week! ** Be sure to order a size down from your normal shoe size. I'm normally a 6, but I bought a 5 .** Wear these without socks and they feel like heaven. Wearing them with socks is bulky and well, were not intended to sock him. Cave in & buy them, will be the best $ 139 you ever spent! Stuck on what color to get? Black turns your feet blacks. Tanning is difficult to match with things. The sand is perfect for everything! Put them under your pants, or more .. be perfect with the dress every day or weather:)

Weber 386002 Q-100 Portable Gas Grill Review

Customer Reviews

This grid is fantastic. I use it all the time and never use my old, larger gas grill or barbecue more. I bought a tube 3 'adapter so I could run off my tank of propane, and seems never runs out of gas - is so efficient. I love how fast it heats up and as my Sears steaks. I also bought the folding trolley and take it to the door and love it! I kid my wife and say that I love my Weber almost as much as you. haha

For those of you wondering if this grill gets hot enough to cook the steaks ... Well, not definitive. I looked at the most expensive units like the Solaire Anywhere grill because of its infrared, but after reading about how you tend to burn and undercook all, I opted for this Q-100. It surprisingly gets hot enough to burn 1.25 "rib-eye steak because of the heat-conductive cast iron grill. Incidentally, the largest 16 ounces bottled propane grill now fits without modification - also said in the manual owner. In addition, saving money, getting the Charbroil 4 foot adapter hose (model # 4623) at Home Depot instead of the one from Weber. From a guy who used to steaks grilled on a Viking Ultra-Premium T-Series grill, I can say that this is a nice portable unit that does not sacrifice much performance. to see some sample images I uploaded.

Customer Reviews

I tried several steam mops before this (Bissell, a native of shark, Steamboy) and have all returned to the store for one reason or another. I was skeptical about trying another, but this seemed to have certain characteristics. I must say, this is by far the best steam mop that I used. Large water tank can sweep a large area, without recharging. This is the only steam mop I tried that works as advertised, as smoking on the floor. All the others left the floor wet, but not this. Cleans and dries incredibly quickly. Clean my entire kitchen, dinette, foyer and bathroom, and only needed to use a portion of each side pad, then the other side is ready for later use.

I just bought this steam MOP today in my local Bed Bath & Beyond and I could not wait to get home and try it! Once I unpacked all the accessories that comes with, (4 double-sided floor pads - two rectangular and two triangular, two switches quick cleaning heads, a purple cloth pad for wood floors, carpet and sailing), the Assembly was a piece of cake. You simply snap the 3 pieces together, fill with water and you're good to go! I clean every floor in my house today (2,800 square meters) in less than an hour and are spotless! I have a great variety of floor also - in wood, laminate and tiles. Cleans equally well on all surfaces and does not strip at all! Glides easily on all surfaces and swivel head makes cleaning in tight spots easier! My plans Harwood need to be finished in the near future, but this really took away some of the mop serene look Abd seem a bit 'better! I also cleaned my garage floor and I can not believe that the dirt collected! I would definitely recommend getting this rag! It does a great job of cleaning and make your life much easier!

Customer Reviews

After assembling the bowl and seasoning that according to the instructions, I cooked two chickens small, probably 3.5-4 lbs. each. Season the birds with a dry rub I invented them and marinate in refrigerator about four hours before I was ready to cook. The kitchen is as simple as something to use and is pretty much hassle-free. I'm used to fry chickens and turkeys in oil, so I was worried that the birds were not as brown as quickly as conventional fryers with oil. I ended up cooking the bird for two hours and emerged as a golden light, with patches of darker color "burn" marks on the tops of the wings and breasts. Once I got them at home and on the plate, the meat almost fell of the bone. They were very tender, moist and delicious. My wife was thrilled by fussy meal and said it was the best chicken I ever tasted. I thought it was too good. We are doing the second bird for dinner tonight. Love this unit and recommend it to anyone who likes to cook! (and especially eat!)

This product is the largest of all. I have both the bowl of oil and now oil less infrared turkey fryer. I will not be with the fryer oil more now. No oil to have a fire or oil to worry about, and Turkey was just as moist and tasting good. E 'cooked a turkey 15 pounds in about three hours and no clean up! I would also recommend the wireless pagers, set up and go home and wait for the alarm to buzz. We also hung outside the basket that we cook potatoes and corn in. We used a chicken fryer for three turkeys and Christmas we are going to cook a rib first into it. The tempurature was below zero here and dosn't seem to effect the cooking time much to everyone. Get one that you like it! Char-Broil 08101480 The Big Easy Oil-Less Infrared Turkey Fryer

Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge Review

2009-12-22T00:42:00.000-08:00

Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge

This powerful home steam vacuum saves you the expense and hassle of having to rent a steam cleaner and keeps rugs, upholstery, and bare floors (other than hardwoods) looking like new. The powerful 12-amp motor combined with five spinning brushes that operate at either high or low speed lift the usual dirt and grime out of carpets. By pulling on the trigger in the comfortable upright handle, this deep cleaner releases the included carpet/upholstery cleaner and hot tap water. For more stubborn stains or for high-traffic areas, this SteamVac also has a Clean Surge feature, which sends an extra blast of cleaning solution into the stain by simply pressing a button on the handle. When cleaning is complete, release the trigger and the SteamVac forces hot air into the cleaning path so you can do a few dry strokes over the stain. This deep cleaner has two separate water tanks to keep clean water apart from dirty water. The top tank holds the detergent and 1 gallon of hot water and automatically mixes the two so you don’t need to get your hands wet. The lower tank holds the dirty solution picked up from the carpet and unlatches to easily pour out into a sink without spilling. For cleaning stairs or upholstery, this deep cleaner has a long 8-foot hose and a special stair/upholstery nozzle that scrubs out spots. Other features of this deep cleaner include a brush indicator, which informs you that the brushes are spinning; an on/off foot pedal; a handle release pedal; and a 27-inch wraparound cord. The Hoover SteamVac is covered by a full one-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

If your new machine LEAKS, see note #2 below. I am just amazed at how many people write that their machine leaked from day one, and they returned it. Hoover F5914-900 will leak if you skip a crucial one-time set-up step.

Paid $170 at Best Buy. This is my first carpet cleaner so I have nothing to compare it to except my own expectations. Even though the name is SteamVac, like all the others in this class of cleaners, there is no Steam to it. That's just false marketing, but all the manufacturers do it, so no particular knock on Hoover.

First, let me say I'm ashamed to admit that our carpet hadn't been cleaned in 4 years, and that we live in the country where lots of dirt gets tracked in from outside. So the carpet was pretty darn dirty. The Hoover F5914-900 did a very nice job the first time I used Hoover F5914-900- a drastically noticeable difference in the appearance of the carpet. The water in the dirty water receptacle was black. Did it return the carpet to new condition? No, impossible. Will it take another treatment or two to really get it clean? Yes, that is the price I pay for ignoring wet-cleaning the carpet for years. One of this cleaner's best features is the ability to dry the carpet quite thoroughly. Since the front of the machine is made of clear plastic, you can see when you're vacuuming up water. If you want to dry the carpet as much as possible, keep vacuuming until you no longer see water being pulled up. As time has passed, the SteamVac has done an excellent job of maintaining my carpets.

My only gripe is that the dirty water container fills up too quickly and should be a little bigger. Ideally, the dirty water receptacle "should" be full right as you run out of clean water. Then, you shut down, empty the dirty water, refill the clean water and back to work. But this process gets out-of-sync with the dirty water receptacle filling up before you run out of clean water. So this can be a little inconvenient, but not a show-stopper.

The machine is well constructed but Hoover F5914-900 IS plastic, with lots of compartments and latches and hose holders, etc, so one must simply be careful or those things will no doubt break off.

Customer Reviews

The Cricut is wonderful - a great tool to have. I found lots of uses for this machine outside of my scrapbooking addiction. My husband is a teacher so it is ideal for smart boards looking for in no time at all. It 'a big investment, but compared to other systems die cut is actually a large. Only to have the flexibility to change the font size is worth the price. I agree that cutting the pad seems to last longer than Cricut says he wants - that was one of my concerns when I bought the car. I do not want to be constantly buying carpet replacement - but I'm not like that is great.

I received the Cricut for Mother's Day my husband and child. I had to delete some 'advice, but it worked! I was in a slump lately and have not touched scrapbooking layouts in more than 4 months. This machine has given me what I needed to move and stop making excuses for the same pages boring. My kit came with 2 pads Cricut and the entire tool kit, so I was going into town to all kinds of new projects and actually have fallen in love with scrapbooking all over again! So many possibilities. The cartridges are very expensive in stores unless you have a coupon, but I bought 2 on eBay for the same price in a store. This is definitely a must for every scrapbooker!

Because of this fantastic journey crib, my 4 months and I slept like logs on our most recent trip. My baby slept well, because the crib is spacious and airy. Fell asleep as soon as she does in her crib at home. I slept well, because this rock crib. It's incredibly easy to set up, which is surprising since nothing seems to be easy to set up these days! I also heard that the building was solid and secure. I had read about some of the dangers of certain cribs trip and I was worried. But there are a lot of things in this crib is going for it in terms of security - I like that my child is very visible because most of the crib is made of a see-through the network. This crib feels very sturdy and again, I like the spaciousness of it. My baby did not seem to be break-out. I also think that the sleeping surface low to the ground (essentially the floor) helps to be a very safe crib travel. But I want to see how my little girl does with this crib in another year or two! I'd like to know how children react in this crib. I imagine they would do well, but we'll see.

Expensive, but worth it! This is the best portable crib out there! We had the Pea Pod, which was good until the child could sit, and then freaked out that his head struck the top of the crib, "" when you sit down (is like a mini tent) Moreover, it was a kind of annoying to fold again after use. Examined the Phil and Ted crib, but the setup seemed too painful, when you need a crib in a hurry (same with the Pea Pod). The crib Bjorn sets in 2 seconds - you remove it from the bag and it appears in place by itself. Folding is equally easy. Koala baby sheets fit well, especially the backyard "Deluxe game" sheet of fabric velboa ultra lush (it's listed as polyester, but the super-soft plush fabric otherwise known as velboa). This card is a bit 'longer than the baby Koala cotton sheets, cotton although those are fine, too. We sat in the Bjorn and read books to get our son used to the crib, and there was room for both me (a full-sized adult) and child to sit and read! E 'was really comfortable, too. Set on a carpet for a more comfortable feel. I would buy this crib again in a second!
